  The label of the Pinoy hip-hop act Ex Batallion has denied the claims that rappers Skusta Clee and Flow G committed plagiarism over a 2018 BTS song, October 7, Wednesday.

  “Inherently different albeit sounding similar,” this is how the music label described the allegation after the official fanbase of BTS called ‘ARMY’ suspected Flow G’s promotional song entitled ‘Deym’ resembled the sound of Korean group’s song entitled ‘Ddaeng.’

  “The beats-per-minute (BPM) of the two songs differ as one is more or less 6-8 BPM faster than the other. Each of the two songs also uses different chord patterns because the producers of the songs are different,” Business Manager Mairon Philip Soliman explained.

  Flow G insisted in a Facebook post that he used generic words, flow and beat for “Deym.” “Parallel thinking among artists do happen and it cannot be avoided,” Soliman added.
