Yesterday, Twitter was ablaze with fans accusing K.O of possibly stealing the ‘best to his 2022 mega hit SETE’. This was after a fan shared Ghanaian artist Reefer Tym’s ‘Feeling For You’, a song that uses the same beat as K.O’s Young Stunna and Blxckie-assisted smash. Reefer himself the fire when he responded to the tweet with a clip from Souja Boy’s infamous interview with The Breakfast Club where he says Drake “copied my flow, bae for bar”.
In a two-tweet thread, the Skhandaworld head honcho clarified that he bought the beat from producer Calliemajik on an online marketplace and later discovered the beat had been leased by other artists before so he added some elements to it to make it unique.
This is, of course, standard procedure in music today but the masses aren’t always clued up so they were quick to scream “thief”.
“I hold full Unlimited Rights to the License of the instrumental I bought which is why the artists who also put out their own versions rightfully cannot disputed mine cos we’re all governed by the same or lesser Copyright. Normal practice in today’s music world,” K.O said.
