YoungstaCPT has shut down claims by producer B Major that the music for his track 1000 Mistakes was stolen.
Speaking to Opera News, B Major (real name Bjorn Martin) accused the rapper and his DJ The Muffin Man, real name Brandon Court, of jepping his composition after a Facebook Messenger conversation with him.
In the conversation, B Major shared screenshots of the alleged interaction where he told Brandon that he wants to be taken seriously as a producer.
Brandon later asked B Major asked to send some of his music over WhatsApp.
B Major then claims that following the release of Youngsta’s album 3T, he noticed similarities with his music and 1000 Mistakes.
“I know my arrangements and melody patterns that I wrote. I mean you can’t just speed up the beat and take my chords, melodies and change my percussion/beat thinking I won’t notice anything wrong,” said B Major.
He claimed he sent the composition between nine and 10 months before the release of the album.
In a statement sent to IOL Entertainment, however, YoungstaCPT’s team said that the claims made by B Major are factually incorrect and that the music for 1000 Mistakes was produced by AirDee, real name Edward Ramolula.
“The information provided by B Major is factually untrue.
“Firstly the beat for 1000 Mistakes was produced at the end of 2016 by AirDee, who is based in Pretoria.
“The Muffin Man never saved or passed any of B Major’s material onto YoungstaCPT,” read the statement.
They added that the alleged messages between The Muffin Man and B Major were sent later, between 2017 and 2018.
IOL Entertainment has reached out to B Major and is awaiting a reply.
YoungstaCPT and Shane Eagle are also set to release their new track Ammo on Friday.
