G.O.O.D. Music’s Desiigner is reportedly the victim of a clever fan’s mix of a recent freestyle turned into a Future-sounding “Moon People” single.

According to reports, the new anthem is not an official Desiigner release.

The song popped up over the weekend on Soundcloud, but it was an unofficial Desiigner account with less than 400 followers (his official account has over 90,000 and contains only two songs – “Panda” and “Zombie Walk”). Now our suspicions have been confirmed by a source that tells XXL the song is not legitimate at all. It is, as we figured, a user-made remix of Desiigner’s acapella freestyle on Tim Westwood from the other week. (XXL Mag)

Recently, producer Mike Dean talked about working on the rap star’s upcoming debut.

“I’m executive producing Desiigner’s album,” Dean revealed in an interview. “He’s a lot more of an artist than you think he is. He’s not just some Future knockoff. He talks like that — he sounds like he’s got Auto-Tune on his voice in real life. He talks like Future raps, which is weird. … I don’t know where he got his music influence. Just like that old sh*t that I had, the sh*t with A$AP Rocky and Yams and all that shit. Like Yams said they grew up on that music on the Internet. Me and Plain Pat were talking about Desiigner. To older people, listening to music is like soul music or old rock music. To Desiigner though [what’s out now] is all the music he knows.” (Billboard)

Last month, G.O.O.D. Music head Kanye West shouted out Desiigner for his “Panda” success.

Desiigner’s “Panda” hit recently became the number one song in the country.

An 18-year-old unknown just swiped Rihanna’s No. 1 crown. For nine weeks straight, her Drake-assisted Work reigned atop the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. But on Monday, the ubiquitous dancehall hit was overtaken by Desiigner’s Panda, which has pounced up the charts since its inclusion on Kanye West’s The Life of Pablo in February. (USA Today)
