K.O took to Twitter to explain the process he took to acquire the beat and explained how this is standard practice in the music industry.
How artists/beatmakers collab in today’s largely virtual music industry… I bought the #SETE beat on an online platform via @Calliemajik‘s page (original producer). Discovered other artists had used it so we replaced some of sounds to make mine unique,” he wrote.
“I hold full Unlimited Rights to the License of the instrumental I bought which is why the artists who also put out their own versions rightfully cannot disputed mine cos we’re all governed by the same or lesser Copyright. Normal practice in today’s music world,” he added.

Dankie✌🏾
Social media users were shocked to find out that there are multiple versions of the song, here are the two versions.
A beat can be licensed by numerous artists. I don’t think anyone stole the song. It all depends on the deal you make with the producer wether you’re licensing it exclusively or not . I dig both songs💕❤️
