BABA Harare has rubbished claims that he copies Burna Boy’s style and music following his recent ‘new look’.
Baba Harare named his 2022 album The African Giant, which he might have borrowed from Burna Boy who is called the African Giant.
On August 25, Burna Boy released his seventh studio album dubbed ‘I told them’ and coincidentally, Baba Harare launched his own album Prove them wrong last week.
Reacting to questions asked in a radio interview, Baba Harare said he was not a copycat and it was just mere coincidence with Burna Boy’s craft.
“When I started calling myself the Zimbabwean Giant I didn’t know about Burna Boy. I have heard people saying I'm following or copying from him but I didn’t know him. When I also named my album Prove Them wrong, I had no idea that the same Burna Boy had an album named ‘I told them’.
"It's just a mere coincidence, I don’t draw inspiration from Burna Boy, but from artistes such as Alick Macheso and Jah Prayzah,” he said.
In that same interview Baba Harare went on to call Enzo Ishall a copycat, who ‘stole’ his song.
Enzo Ishall released a song dubbed Tiza, which was produced by Nyasha Timbe, the same producer who works with Baba Harare.

Tiza’s instrumentation has a striking resemblance to Baba Harare’s Ahee as well as the visuals.
“That’s my song, Enzo Ishall just put his lyrics on my beat. When I approached Nyasha Timbe I convinced him to do Jiti and I arranged the beat and roles," Baba Harare said.
Even the girl who was used by Enzo Ishall at the National Braai Festival -Subharu she is the same video vixen I have used in more than five videos. Although no one owns a sound, in this case I inspired Enzo Ishal to do Jiti."
