MAKHADZI'S MAGEAR' OR SCRAFOC'S? Taking to Twitter on Sunday 19 June, Twitter user @JanVanPotgieter claimed that Makhadzi stole Scrafoc's song Ma Gear which was released in June 2021.
The song actually made a buzz in Malawi and got a bit of clout since he is an upcoming artist, wrote the tweep.
Makhadzi's song, with the same name, was first teased on TikTok in June 2022 and it has sparked 35 000 videos on the video-sharing app.

TWEEPS WEIGH IN Reacting to the accusations, some tweeps highlighted that the songs don't sound similar.
These songs aren't even similar It's like when Faith Evans say I love you' and Mary J Blige sings I love you' Different time and all. Scrafoc far away and leave our Khadzi alone! wrote one tweep.
Does this guy now know that South Africans have been using the term change Magear' for ages and it's been in many songs? If he stalls Makhadazi stole it from other SA artists, wrote another tweep.
Stole because of the phrase changer ma gear'? Lmaoo pls that phrase has been there since.
He is looking for relevance.
