South Africans are alleging that Nigerian artist Smada committed song theft. The singer released his track ‘Smada Eh’ featuring Pocolee, Smeeze, and D3an in October.

However, the song has sparked controversy in Mzansi as it closely resembles Boohle’s ‘Hambe Wena’. Sadly, the Nigerian artist did not credit Boohle or compensate her for the similarities.

Smada shared a video clip on social media showcasing the popularity of his song, provoking outrage among South Africans.

Currently, many are now calling for Boohle to take legal action to address the alleged infringement.”

“This man is getting international gigs that Boohle and Deep London could’ve been getting. And this is why we were talking about gatekeeping Amapiano. That would include; only South African artists would be allowed to perform or play Amapiano around any part of the world.” a tweep said.

“Smada stole Boohle and Deep Londons’ song (flow, cadence, and the lyrics). Nigerians don’t respect South Africans and their music. This is copyright infringement. It’s highly illegal.” another angry internet user said.

“Boohle girl, call your lawyers and your publisher rn !!!!!”

“Bit Boohle’s entire flow and didn’t bother crediting her. You will feel an unbearable itch in 3 days.”

“Deep London & boohle should stop being the bigger people and sue the hell out of those thiefs, they didn’t even try. “
