"He didn’t write anything on that song. He only came with his verse. I wasn’t even there."
Mufasa had claimed on social media that he wrote the lyrics to the banger. Mzansi social media users shared mixed reactions to the stunner's revelation. Check out some of the comments below:

"Nywe nywe Cassper only wrote his verse. When Boohle also stole the chorus' tune from Bob Sinclair 'world hold on". A song which had many remixes in South Africa around 2007."
@Nqobanim5 said:
"Most of us didn't know her before the song, also other producers will be hesitant about working with her since she reveals what happens behind the scenes."
@DiezelFibre commented:
"I agree! There was absolutely NO need! She said a lot of things that she wasn’t even supposed to say! I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t hear about her in a few months!"
