Rumour has it Boity Thulo stole Bakae. The claim was made in South African news site, All4Women, who spoke to Francis and she spilled all the tea on how she believes that Boity took her song “Cake” and turned it into “Bakae”.
While y’all have been watching the Resurrection Challenge; someone’s daughter has been out for justice. A rapper by the name of Karen Francis wants the world to know that she thinks Boity stole her song.
From what we can gather, Karen is based in the UK and is not only a rapper but a YouTuber too. She also speaks fluent seTswana and recently recorded a track in her mother tongue called “Cake”. This is where the trouble began.
She said to All4Women:
“I listened to Bakae and I was in a complete state of shock because I recognised so many elements of the song instantly. I could recognise my signature and my structure on Boity’s verses. I’m a songwriter and I can write a song in minutes. I took time to really structure that song [Cake] to really put my signature on it and show a part of me that people are not acquainted.”
She also took to social media to openly make the comparison and her followers were shocked by the similarity:
She wrote: Well ain’t this a funny coincidence that your flow/style & mine sound similar🤔Flows are getting bit in broad day light huh.. ok h*** re tlaa di bonela ko pele, you & the n***s that write your songs nxla! le tletse masepa waitse. Wrong b*** !! As if I’m here on another continent without ears smh enjoy the glory while it lasts. What kind of f****d up coincidence is this???Now I can write a song in minutes I took a whole day to structure CAKE, this s*** ain’t adding up??? Which n*** thought it was a good idea to do this?? I done asked everybody’s opinion before jumping the gun! s*** still not adding up, a lot of people in the industry in SA had my track.
I know money can buy a lot of things, apparently it can also bite flows, the song structure is what gave it away. Some shady s*** is going on here! This s*** ain’t adding up!!! I thought ya’ll had a lot of songs 😑 this one sounds recent, nxla! Fame e tlaa le bolaya. A re bakae, re teng mma FOH with that bulls***, it’s basically the same song bruh! #Boity #bakae #reallybitch #reallynigga #imupset #jozi #johannesburg #wtf #mzansi #southafrica #plagiarism #plagiarism#plagiarism
