RAPPER Big Zulu is being called an opportunist that's trying to steal a young singer's shine.
There's a video of a young schoolgirl singing his song titled Ubaba Ulala Nam on social media and Big Zulu is asking South Africans to help him find her.
This comes after international superstar Chris Brown shared it on his Instagram on Sunday, 9 October.
On Monday, Big Zulu took to social media to ask people to help him look for the girl, whose real name is Naledi. People are saying the Mali Eningi rapper is only acknowledging Naledi because Chris shared her video.

In his post, he said he wants to feature her in a music video he'll be recording for the song.
"Chris Brown @chrisbrownofficial acknowledges a young South African singer for her outstanding voice which he posted on his Instagram story. She sang a song by the popular South African musician and hitmaker Big Zulu," he wrote.
"The song speaks of the major issue we're faced with in South Africa which is women and child abuse. Big Zulu is asking South Africans to help find this amazing talent so she can feature on the singer's music video which will be a dedication to women and children during the 16 Days of Activism for No Violence Against Women and Children, which is held between the 25th of November and the 10th of December every year," he continued.
However, people are accusing him of only paying attention to the girl because Chris shared her video.
Instagram user Lash_thirst wrote: "What an opportunist. If Chris didn't post hmmmmmm let me tool."
