Rapper Holy Ten has found himself embroiled in a plagiarism row after being accused of stealing lyrics from fellow wordsmith Yung Hondo, a Zimbabwean student based in Canada.
After Voltz JT uploaded a video of Yung Hondo’s track titled “Bond”, some fans remarked that some lyrics on the song appeared identical to Holy Ten’s “We Don’t Do That Here.”
On Bond, Yung Hondo raps:
“I really have to make this clear to the women I have met this year. If you dare to call me bae then you gonna make things a bit weird. We don’t do that here.”
Meanwhile, on the recently released We Don’t Do That Hare Holy Ten rapped:
“I really have to make this clear to the women I have met this year. If you dare to call me bae then you gonna make things a bit weird.”
In response, Holy Ten said he was the true victim of plagiarism as the lyrics were “stolen” from him during a freestyle session in 2020.
“To the rapper turned blogger: I know that you’re so desperate to discredit me and that your career depends on my demise, but last night you celebrated for nothing.
“We don’t do that here was part of Live Session Episode 4 shot in June 2020. The episode never aired because we (BrandonSSKD and myself) recorded bad-quality sound. Unfortunately, someone got to the files and made my freestyles theirs. Luckily I still have the files dating back to June 2020. I’m uploading them when you wake up (that’s if uchirara because godo nehuroyi it’s the same sin).
“’ll also be out looking for “Yung Hondo” so he can explain himself. My intellectual property got stolen and local artists were celebrating,” Holy Ten wrote. Holy Ten escalated matters further by filing a copyright claim against Yung Hondo’s video on YouTube.
