\u201cI will take a legal action. This is not on. Just because she is a big brand, it doesn\u2019t warrant violation of copyright laws,\u201d he said The Malawian artist whose real name is Gift Chilonga added that he is not seeking the legal action to make a name.<\/p>\n

If I was destined to be big, it shall come to pass even if her name is not involved.\u201d However Makhadzi is yet to comment on the matter. At the moment, her song which features Mr Brown is attracting good traffic on digital platforms. Gift\u2019s song was released last year whereas Makhadzi\u2019s tune came to life a few days ago. Dj Megi and Master Azart produced the two songs respectively.<\/p>\n
