Onesimus’ “Running Mate” Sparks Debate Over Beat Similarities With Cretik’s Song Usazam’biseso

Malawian music star Onesimus has released a brand-new single titled Running Mate, produced by Dj Megi.

The afro-soul track carries a heartfelt message about two lovers who share an inseparable bond and find it hard to part ways despite challenges.

Since its release, Running Mate has already gained massive traction online, amassing over 42,000 views on YouTube within just five hours. Many fans have praised Onesimus, saying he never disappoints whenever he releases a song.

However, despite the early success, the song has attracted some debate. A section of music fans claim that the instrumental of Running Mate closely resembles that of Usazam’biseso, a track by rising artist Cretik. Interestingly, Usazam’biseso is the very song that brought Cretik into the limelight, and fans have weighed in, suggesting that the similarities are too obvious to ignore.

Still, Onesimus remains a household name in Malawi’s music scene, with his latest release once again sparking excitement, conversation, and attention both from loyal fans and critics.
