On Wednesday, June 16, 2021, allegations surfaced online, alleging Bahati copied singer Butera Knowless' song Peke Yangu that was released 5 years ago. Knowless is a Rwandan singer who writes many of her own songs. Most of her songs songs touch on such themes as romantic relationships, societal issues and daily life. Butera Knowles’s released her song five years ago, asking her man if he only loves her or there are others in the picture. The song has over 523K views and counting.

However, in a quick rejoinder, Bahati hit-back stating that his haters were not prepared to see him at number one and that’s why they want to taint his Album:

“It's normal !!!

When you are no #1, every number last will envy and try hate on you because they don't understand why God has chosen you and not them!!!

Well, according to Bahati, this is just one of the subtle means people use to bring one down. Bahati denied the claims. But from the comparison of both videos, you’ll notice a huge similarity.
