Kenyan music aficionados have been left talking after Wanja Kihii, a rising star in the rap scene, dropped her latest rap single.
The song, which takes aim at a slew of fellow artists, has fans and critics alike divided over its boldness and impact on the industry.
In her daring musical creation, Wanja Kihii casts a piercing spotlight on various artists, fervently establishing her dominance in the rap game while challenging her peers to measure up to her extraordinary talent.
Of particular note is her scathing assessment on Khaligraph Jones, where she boldly raps, “Tuanze na Khaligraph jones, hauna mistari…rudi gym ukue bouncer. Mimi speed yangu huwezani. Hata hiii ngoma labda uskize na slow motion.”
Intriguingly, Wanja Kihii doesn’t stop at Khaligraph Jones. She proclaims her artistic superiority over Mejja, another well-regarded musician, while concurrently raising an eyebrow at Bahati’s curious pivot towards endorsing food products over nurturing his vocal prowess.
“Baha aliacha muziki akaenda kuadvertise unga na hata yeye mwenyewe hajaunga.”
Other musical figures targeted in her lyrical crosshairs are the likes of Diamond Platnumz, a Tanzanian bongo star who has reportedly expressed interest in collaborating with Wanja Kihii. However, she decisively rebuffs his overtures, demonstrating her steadfast focus on her craft.
She also went after Samidoh, Nadia Mukami and Ssaru,
