Netizens react to DaBaby sampling Maskandi hit song 'Wenhliziyo Yami' in viral TikTok video

American rapper DaBaby (real name Jonathan Lyndale Kirk) has gone viral in Mzansi after he sampled a Maskandi track titled Wenhliziyo Yami by South African singer, Zwide.

The 33-year-old rapper shared a snippet of a video of his unreleased song on his social media platforms, which has since gone viral and sparked a reaction from netizens.

While he did not share the title of the upcoming track, what captured the attention of South Africans was the lyrics that he is singing, which are the opposite of what is being sung in the original song.

The video has amassed over 1 million views on TikTok, over 190 000 likes and over 10 000 comments.
