On November 22, 2019, Kenyan music producer Magix Enga made good on his threat to report Harmonize for alleged copyright infringement, with YouTube deleting the song 'Uno' from the site.
Magix Enga had previously accused Harmonize of stealing his beats, and the producer had vowed not to allow the infringement to happen in Kenya.
After the song was pulled down, Magix Enga took to social media to celebrate, saying, '1 week imeisha and the song Uno is no longer on YouTube. Don't sample Magix Enga beats. I repeat don't! Like I said I'm not going to allow this to happen, not in 254.'
Harmonize's manager, Mjerumani, acknowledged the ban, stating that YouTube was still reviewing the alleged copyright claim.
However, Mjerumani urged fans to remain patient as they reached the bottom of the allegations, saying, 'Tunachukua Nafasi hii Kuwaomba Mashabiki wetu na wapenzi wa Harmonize, Kuwa Watulivu Wakati jambo hili linashughulikiwa. Aidha Tunaimani Wimbo wetu Utarudi baada ya muda sio mrefu.'
