KE On The Track Accused Of Stealing Beat For 'The Devil Is A Lie'

Yesterday, Rick Ross released his new single ‘The Devil Is A Lie‘ featuring Jay Z to a positive response (Although I didn’t like it much). The credit for the smooth, sampled beat was given to KE On The Track who also released a making of the beat video later in the day to showcase in brief how he came up with the concept.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

But things took a wild turn shortly after as another producer named Major Seven went on his Twitter to claim that he was the real producer of the song and that KE clearly jacked it from him though an unknown medium.

The song is now available on iTunes but we can’t spot either names in the “composer” tab on the song’s info page. It only lists “William Roberts, LeShawn Rogers, Willie McNeal & Shawn Carter”.

Peep Major Seven’s tweets below. What do you think of the situation?

UPDATE: He has talked about the situation in an interview with XXL. Read it in full here.
