Amapiano sensation Kelvin Momo has found himself in the middle of an unexpected music dispute after calling out fellow artist Bongi Soul for allegedly stealing one of his songs. Known for his soulful and meticulously crafted sound, Kelvin Momo rarely engages in public drama — but this time, he’s making his stance clear.
The award-winning producer took to his Instagram stories to address the issue, posting a direct message aimed at the accused artist. “Stop stealing. Ubani manje wena,” he wrote, making it evident he was not going to let the matter slide.
According to Momo, Bongi Soul allegedly took one of his older tracks from past mixes, lifted both the beat and vocals in their entirety, and uploaded it to major digital streaming platforms under the title Midnight. The track, Momo claims, is essentially his original work — unchanged, uncredited, and now publicly available as someone else’s creation.
Fans quickly picked up on the controversy, with many defending Kelvin Momo’s artistry and calling for respect within the industry. The incident has sparked conversations about intellectual property in the music space, especially in genres like Amapiano where collaborative work and remixes are common — sometimes blurring the lines between influence and infringement.
Kelvin Momo’s frustration is understandable. With a reputation for producing immersive, emotive soundscapes, his work often takes months to perfect. Each track reflects his signature style, making any duplication instantly recognizable to his loyal fan base. For many supporters, this situation is a stark reminder of the importance of protecting creative work in the fast-moving digital era.
As of now, Bongi Soul has not publicly responded to the allegations. The track Midnight remains available online, though fans are watching closely to see if it will be taken down. Whether the matter will escalate into legal action remains unclear, but Kelvin Momo’s public statement has already amplified industry awareness about respecting original creators.
Despite the controversy, Kelvin Momo continues to focus on his craft. With his music consistently dominating charts and playlists, this incident is unlikely to derail his momentum — but it does serve as a warning to would-be imitators: the Amapiano community is paying attention, and its top producers won’t hesitate to call out wrongdoing.
