Mwanamuziki maarufu nchini Marekani, Beyonce ameendelea kusakamwa na raia wa Afrika Mashariki kutokana na kitendo cha kutumia misamiati ya lugha ya Kiswahili katika filamu yake ya ‘The Lion King’ bila kutoa shukrani au thamani kutoka kwenye asili ya maneno hayo. Mtangazji na mwanahabari maarufu kutoka kituo cha BBC Swahili, Salim Kikeke amemtumia ujumbe staa huyo wa RnB na Pop duniani akisema kuwa hajaridhishwa na kitendo chake cha kutowashukuru Watanzania na wana Afrika Mashariki kwa kutumia baadhi ya maneno katika Kiswahili. ​Kupitia mtandao wa kijamii wa Instagram, Kikeke ameandika: “Mpendwa Beyonce, Mimi ni mpenzi mkubwa wa kazi zako, Nimeona wasanii uliowachagua kwenye Album yako mpya ya The Gift, Nimefadhaika kutoona hata msanii mmoja kutoka Africa Mashariki hasa Tanzania, Filamu yako ya The Lion King imesetiwa na fahari ya bara la Africa kama Serengeti ambayo ipo Tanzania, neno la hakuna matata na Simba ni maneno ya Kiswahili ambayo yanatumika Tanzania na Africa Mashariki.” “Kuna baadhi ya maneno ya Kiswahili ametumia kwenye wimbo wake wa Spirit, na hawezi kupata maana halisi Kiswahili kwa kuweka wasanii ambao wanatokea Afrika Magharibi peke yake, haijalishi wana uzuri kiasi gani, hata Tanzania na Afrika Mashariki kuna wasanii wenye vipaji ambao wangekuwepo kwenye hiyo kazi yako mpya”, ameandika Salim Kikeke.   Dear @beyonce I am a big admirer of your work. But-  I’ve seen the artists that you chose to appear in your new album The Gift. As an East African and a Tanzanian I’m quite dismayed that none of the star studded line up, feature any artist from East Africa, or specifically Tanzania. The Lion King setting itself – the Pride Lands of Africa- is The Serengeti, which is in Tanzania. The phrase ‘Hakuna Matata’ is made up of Swahili words- Kiswahili is spoken in Tanzania and East Africa. Simba is a Swahili word, which means Lion. You’ve even included some Swahili words in -Spirit. However, when you said ‘authenticity and heart ‘ were important in this project I thought you’d make an effort. You just can’t get real vibes from the East of the continent by having artists from the West, no matter how wonderful they are. Tanzania & East Africa has plenty of brilliant musicians that would have brought out the authentic Swahili feel straight from the heart.

Kama watanzania na east africa kwa ujumla ametukosea,,she has big fan base na najua yy ni rahisi kujua uhalisia wa kile alichoimba kupitia watu wake coz kwao nyimbo ni project ambayo watu hukaa chini na kufanya upembuzi ili kutoa kazi iliyo bora,,kitendo cha kutoonyesha ushirikiano na wasanii wa east africa akizindua nyimbo yenye maadhi yetu na kuwakumbatia wa west africa ni disrespect…kama ni kusud ama bahat mbaya basi ajue hajatenda haki na huku asije kudadadeki😠 rithajosephkitani
