Yesterday, young social media star Lasizwe Dambuza shared a video (as he usually does) in which he asked people in relationships what the secret is to getting into and maintaining a successful relationship.
Dear people in relationships

The video received a ton of praise from his followers but the high was short lived. Cape-Town-based actor Earl Craig claimed that Lasizwe's video was a rip off of one he had posted years ago:
😭😭You legit cried!!! I laughed so hard & felt bad when I saw tears!😳 RT @earlcraig06: #LoveDoesntLiveHere 😥😓😢 pic.twitter.com/l8NU0rtVgN

Craig also had something to say to Lasizwe but he just ended up getting blocked by the youngster.
Cos my video has been floating around on twitter since 2016 😊

But you would know that....😉
Just own the fact you are lazy and unoriginal. https://t.co/pf0kiPCBko
@lasizwe not only are you lazy to come up with authentic original content..you are also a lazy liar. pic.twitter.com/FEbhoiac8q

And just in case you think Craig is being too harsh, he had this to say...
Not attacking.

I am addressing an adult who stole an entire video of mine.
He is old enough to steal peoples content.
He is old enough to get checked. https://t.co/OdnZ8KKyYT
As for Lasizwe?
What do you guys think? Was it a case of copying or coincidence?
What to read next: Lasizwe shows off his bae?
