Social media users defended Makhadzi, saying the songs do not sound alike, reports TimesLIVE. The publication notes that peeps said just because both singers mentioned the word 'gear' does not mean the songs are the same.

@Omphile_Katlego said:

"These songs aren't even similar..it's like when Faith Evans say "I love you" and Mary J Blige sings "I love you".. Different time and all. Scrafoc can go Scrafoc far away and leave our Khadzi alone!"

@Rebecca_Made added:

"Ma90s will know there was a song chencha magear and there was a dance to it. I think it was Arthur Mafokate if I’m not wrong. On top of that, this is a beat by vigro? How do we sue Malawi as a country?"
