In an Instagram Story posted by Nanai yesterday, the young beatmaker broke his silence on rumours his track 'Laxed (Siren Beat)' had been ripped off.

He appeared to demonstrate how "literally anyone" could edit the text in the YouTube description box to make it seem as though the song was free to use.

Nanai gave a "shout out" to the "uso" who he says did that, without naming names.

Nanai said he was "feeling thankful for all of the support so far" and planned to "get Manurewa 67 on the map".

'Laxed' was picked up on TikTok as the soundtrack to the viral 'Culture Challenge' dance before Derulo chose it as the beat to his song 'Savage Love'.

The US pop star was flooded with comments on social media demanding that Nanai be credited, prompting Derulo to tag the teenage producer who he said "killed the beat" on Instagram.
