This, as netizens — paticularly BTS fans — accused him and Flow G for allegedly plagiarizing BTS’ track “Ddaeng”.
According to a report on GMA News Online, Flow G and Skusta Clee — both members of Ex Battalion — released a track “Deym – 90’s Gang” for a clothing line promotion last September.
BTS fans then heard their track a week after it was released and they noticed that the said track had some close resemblance to “BTS – Ddaeng”.
With this, BTS fans concluded that he and Skusta Clee had allegedly stolen the beat from BTS.
