As the dispute between Omega 256 and Cindy Sanyu over their hit collaboration See You Tonight continues to stir debate within music circles, singer and songwriter A Pass believes the conflict is less about percentages and more about communication.
The disagreement centres on the ownership and revenue-sharing arrangement of the song, with reports indicating that Omega 256 took a 60 percent share while Cindy received 40 percent. The arrangement has since become a point of contention, with both artists publicly presenting different interpretations of how the deal was reached.
Speaking about the matter, he pointed to what he sees as a breakdown in communication and a failure to properly formalise key aspects of the collaboration.
According to him, both artists overlooked important processes that could have prevented the current fallout.
“They were both reluctant to do some important things because even Cindy blames herself for this,” A Pass explained.
His comments suggest that both singers may have relied too heavily on trust and verbal understanding, assuming everything would naturally fall into place without completing the necessary paperwork and agreements.

For him, the situation is far from unique. He noted that disagreements often emerge after a project becomes successful, especially when expectations change once the rewards begin to flow.
“Some people have that attitude; they change as soon as they get what they want,” he remarked, reflecting on experiences he has witnessed within the music industry.
Rather than prolonging the disagreement through interviews and social media exchanges, the Gamululu singer believes the solution is straightforward: sit down and talk.
“If you sat down together before the collabo, why can’t you sit down now and talk about it?” he asked.
The singer encouraged Omega 256 to seek a private conversation with Cindy, arguing that many business misunderstandings are resolved behind closed doors rather than in public.
Apass also cautioned artists against turning every disagreement into online content, noting that emotions can often push people into saying things they later regret.
“I feel like Omega should humble herself and talk to Cindy because she’s still young in music,” he said.
