Why most global rappers fear Khaligraph Jones

In the realm of African rap, Khaligraph Jones reigns supreme as a ferocious lyrical titan, always ready to strike when taunted. One needs only to listen to his verses to understand the sheer power of this rap juggernaut.

  • Khaligraph jones vs Vera Sidika

Take, for example, the time when socialite Vera Sidika dared to mock Khaligraph on her Instagram in 2018. The rap maestro didn’t hesitate to unleash a scathing diss track in response, roasting Vera’s plastic assets and even accusing her of trading her body for financial gain. The track generated heated controversy, with fans deeming it a step too far. Vera, however, seemed to learn her lesson and has since steered clear of provoking male rappers, opting instead to spar with fellow women like Amber Ray.

  • Blaq bonez vs Khaligraph jones

Unfortunately, Nigerian rapper Blaqbones failed to learn from Vera’s misstep. After publicly declaring that Khaligraph didn’t deserve to win the Soundcity Music Awards’ Best Rapper in Africa title, he was swiftly met with a crushing diss track of his own. Titled “Best Rapper in Nigeria,” the song not only mocked Blaqbones’ physique but also branded him a Tekashi wannabe. The numbers spoke for themselves: Khaligraph’s track amassed a staggering 800k views on YouTube, while Blaqbones’ response mustered a mere 200k.

  • Khaligraph jonez vs Dj Pinye

Even legendary DJ Pinye wasn’t spared from Khaligraph’s lyrical lacerations. Once refusing to play the rapper’s music due to his American-accented rhymes, DJ Pinye later found himself on the receiving end of a Jones’ track “Me Siogopi,” in which the rapper flexes his now-established fame without Pinye’s assistance.

However, the most notorious rivalry in Khaligraph’s career remains his ongoing feud with fellow rapper Octopizzo. This epic saga began over a decade ago during a hip-hop show called Wapi, where the two engaged in a heated rap battle. Rumor has it that Khaligraph’s lyrical prowess outshone Octopizzo’s that night, but the feud escalated when Khaligraph mentioned Octopizzo’s wife in a song. Octopizzo considered this a grave offense and vowed never to collaborate with Khaligraph unless money was on the line.

Despite the animosity, Khaligraph claims to harbor no ill will towards Octopizzo and has even requested a collaboration in his song “Yes Bana.” Meanwhile, their fans continue to debate which of these two rap gladiators truly rules the hip-hop streets in their homeland.
