AceShowbiz - Dame Dash is working hard to give Kanye West an interesting beat that the latter can use for his next album, but the beat is apparently not created by him. Diplo calls out the music producer of stealing his beat and selling it to the G.O.O.D. Music founder.
It all started when Kanye shared on Twitter a video of Dame flexing a new beat and promising to give it to him. "I'ma send you this beat," Dame said. "I'm in the studio n***a, making motherf***ing records, and I got more, so just let me know. You have to respect my creativity in this motherf***er. I'm only telling you this to get you hyped over this s**t. I'ma email this s**t to you. Let this s**t get your mind right."

The beat could be heard playing in the background, but it sounded really similar to Diplo's "Sarah", which was released fourteen years ago. Many have started noticing that the beat is actually the EDM producer's song, prompting Diplo to notice it too. "This is my actual song tho," he said in response to the tweet.
This is my actual song tho 🤨 https://t.co/yoQl3Uf9gO

As if calling out Dame via his personal Twitter account was not enough, Diplo took to his What Would Diplo Do? Twitter account to slam him. Along with three thinking emojis, he posted a video of the said song.

Dame has yet to respond to the accusation.
Kanye is currently working on his upcoming album "Yandhi". The album was supposed to hit the stores on the same day as his "Saturday Night Live" performance, but its release date is eventually pushed back as he "didn't finish" it in time. Kanye is now preparing to go to Africa in the next couple of weeks to continue recording.
"Yandhi" is now scheduled to hit the stores on Black Friday, November 23.
