Kenyan music producer Magix Enga has found himself in a heated debate after accusing Tanzanian artist Harmonize of stealing his 'Dundaing' beat. However, it appears that Magix Enga may have been the one who borrowed the beat from Nigerian artist Olamide's hit song 'Motigbana'.
According to reports, Magix Enga's 'Dundaing' song, which features King Kaka and Kristoff, uses the same beat as Olamide's 'Motigbana'. This has led many to accuse Magix Enga of copying Olamide's work without giving him proper credit.
Harmonize, who used Magix Enga's 'Dundaing' beat for his song 'Uno', has not commented on the allegations. However, his fans have been quick to defend him, accusing Magix Enga of being forgetful and hypocritical.
Magix Enga's post on Instagram, which accused Harmonize of stealing his beat, has been met with backlash from Harmonize's fans. They have been sharing screenshots of Magix Enga's 'Dundaing' song, which they claim uses Olamide's beat without permission.
It is worth noting that beats can sometimes sound similar, and it is possible that Magix Enga and Harmonize may have borrowed ideas from Olamide's song without realizing it. However, the fact that Magix Enga accused Harmonize of stealing his beat without giving credit to Olamide has raised eyebrows in the music industry.
