Uh-oh! It looks like Davido didn't hit the mark this time around, and Mzansi was not happy:

theresho_mmatli asked:

"Did he ask us? Is he allowed?"

"Is there a way to unhear this?"

sphiwe_pique_images wasn't impressed:

"Sometimes it's good to stick to what you know and leave other things alone. This sample is totally unnecessary and a spoil to the song ka mam' Brenda. @davido, you need to stop it now, you don't have to ride on every other South African track, please."

blert_fob was confused:

"Who the hell allowed him?"

_.hafeni._ posted:

"Completely destroyed this gem for me."

ndingu.aziza complained:

"Can these people stop taking and taking and taking and failing in the recreating?"
