K.O Responds To Rashid Kay’s Claims That He Stole The Name ‘Skhanda’ From MT
K.O Responds To Rashid Kay’s Claims That He Stole The Name ‘Skhanda’ From MT. K.O. has been in the rap industry for over 17 years and has had a tremendous effect on the culture with his Skhanda sound. With all the hit songs he has dropped over the years, the origin of the name Skhanda has been under scrutiny with allegations that he stole the name from MT.
Speaking during an interview with Zingah, Rashid Kay alleged that K.O. stole the name Skhanda from MT. “MT from Thembisa 1632 had a mixtape called Skhanda Music, whether you listened to the mixtape or not, he started Skhanda,” Rashid said. “K.O. took the Skhanda name from MT, but took the Skhanda sound from Lunatik, the name and the sound, those are two different things.” Rashid added.
K.O. laughed off Rashid’s claims by saying that the fellow rapper was lying and making up stuff. “Lol n*gg*s be loud and wrong, respectfully. Anyway can’t wait to peep at the full clip,” tweeted K.O.
Speaking during a podcast interview that was posted on Twitter with the handle @thisiscolbert, MT explained where the Skhanda came from and alleged that K.O. stole his idea.
The issue of Skhanda, he (K.O) stole the concept and ran with it,” he said. “In the podcast, Rashid has talked about it, and Sizwe Dhlomo attested to that and they are witnesses. You cant manipulate history, if people know history as it is, you can come and you can’t lie to people because there are witnesses they will tell you we were there,” MT said.
