Did Lasizwe copy Earl Craig?

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
How do you do it ?

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’s followers quickly came to his defense. dragging Lasizwe in the process.

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

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
