K.O’s Young Stunna and Blxckie-assisted mega hit, ‘SETE’, may have shattered multiple records, but it’s now being followed by some controversy. After recently making the realisation that Ghanaian artist Reefer Tym had used the same beat as ‘SETE’ before, fans are looking for answers.
It appears that the beat was for sale on Beatstarz, a marketplace for producers where they sell and put up their beats for lease. It’s not clear who leased and who bought the beat between K.O and Reefer Tym, and fans have been weighing in on the issue.
See some reactions below:

Lool Reefer tym must relax he had the beat before but couldn't make it a hit until K.O and his team touched it to become SETE. WE CAN both license the same beat from one producer depending on the deals we each make with the producer. Exclusive or non exclusive

This Sete situation isn’t what y’all guys make it out to be. The Producer Callie Majik drop his beats on YouTube and Both KO and Reefer Tym used the beat issued on YT but KO reached out to the producer and subsequently credited him on SETE. I don’t know about the other dude.

SETE having the same beat as that other song doesn’t change that SETE is a banger

Music is licensed all the time, everyone puts their own twist in it. Why are you making an issue over another track sounding like sete? pic.twitter.com/4h5zK5POhy

That’s the painful thing about leasing beats. You’ll buy one and someone bigger will by the same one and his song will hit. Then you out there thinking he should’ve reached out. How b?
