Kenyan emerging rapper, Wanja Wa Kihii, has ignited a social media frenzy with her latest track, in which she takes on several prominent figures in the entertainment industry.
In her viral music video, Wanja confidently applauds her own rapping skills, declaring herself the top Kenyan rapper. She doesn’t hold back in her critique, specifically targeting veteran rapper Khaligraph Jones, asserting that he lacks talent and humorously suggesting he should consider a career as a bouncer.
Wanja directly addresses Khaligraph, urging him to revisit his skills, stating, “Twende kwa Khaligraph Jones. Bro..haunanga mistari, Rudi gym uwe bouncer. Mimi speed yangu huwezani. Hata hii ngoma labda huskize na slow motion.” She goes on to convey a message to Mejja through Khaligraph, claiming her superior talent.
Turning her attention to Bahati, Wanja accuses him of diverting from music to promote maize flour, insinuating his weakness in the process. She also takes a moment to inform Tanzanian singer Diamond Platnumz that she has no romantic interest in him and playfully mentions that he has been sliding into her DMs, humorously suggesting he should join his fellow “Simba” in the wilderness.
In a surprising twist, Wanja expresses an interest in collaborating with socialite Zari, although she questions whether Zari can afford her services, jesting that it would take Zari 15 years to reach her level.
The video has rapidly gained widespread attention on social media, eliciting diverse reactions from netizens. Some viewers accuse Wanja of disrespecting industry heavyweights, while others appreciate her humor and talent. The video has certainly generated a lively debate in the online community, reflecting the diverse opinions of music enthusiasts.
Here are some of the comments from netizens:
