It’s new music Friday and Makhadzi has released the full version of her TikTok hit song MaGear. However, a Malawian artist has claimed she stole the song from him. 

Scrafoc claims his song, released in June 2021 sounds very similar to Makhadzi’s own track with the same name.  His music video has about 23,000 views and Makhadzi’s version has thousands of dance challenges on TiKTok with millions of views.

“When I thought 3 awards I received yesterday was enough matsiko nooo there is 15 more,” said Makhadzi.

She also said that she slept with her awards because she did not know how else to celebrate her hard work and impressive achievements.
