"They jacked your beat. I don't know about the flow though. K.O's version is fire bro"

"That's what you get when you download free beats or lease a beat, but hey you can still capitalise on this controversy."

@Xing_xingM replied:

"This sounds like every West African song… you just want outrage streams."

"Guys the beat is from Calliemajik beat and KO credits him. The beat was purchased from the original producer. The question is where did Refeer Tym get the beat from since he doesn't credit the original producer? I guess he got the beat from YouTube. Licensing is important!"

@SimsJ___ also said:

"Beat licensing bafethu. Perfectly legal to license the same beat."

@KabeloBafana added:

"Surely he paid for the sample."
