In the midst of an ongoing rap feud between Kenyan and Tanzanian artists, Stevo Simple Boy has boldly come forward by asserting his dominance in the rap and hip-hop scene.
In a recent interview with Mungai Eve, Stevo confidently proclaimed himself, along with Khaligraph Jones, as the reigning kings of the genre.
This has been cemented through his newly released diss track, “BONGO MALA,” that truly stirred the pot. In the track, he unapologetically criticizes Tanzanian rappers for their dull efforts, claiming that their rap skills pale in comparison to their Kenyan counterparts.
In the song, Stevo Simple Boy humorously hinted at his rising popularity, suggesting that he might even consider using Kajal (a popular Tanzanian makeup brand) since his salary has soared. The rapper didn’t hold back in naming fellow Kenyan artists Wakadinali, Nyashinski, Kaligraph Jones, and himself as the OG’s (original gangsters) of the rap scene. He playfully poked fun at Roma, suggesting that he might be a

“pope” rather than a rapper.
However, Stevo’s track wasn’t all barbs and boasts. He took a playful jab at Tanzanian rapper Rosa Ree, suggesting that she should quit rap and consider dating him, as rap might be too challenging for her. ” Haloo Rosa Ree mbona vita na shemeji Kwa rap huwezani kuja nikudeti,” he taunted in the track.
As the track gained traction, Stevo Simple Boy posed a crucial question to his Kenyan audience: should he continue on this path or halt the beef? Many Kenyan content creators lauded his boldness and urged him to persist. They went so far as to dub him “1 pac” in place of the legendary 2Pac, affirming his status as an OG of rap.
Nevertheless, not everyone was on board with Stevo’s approach. Some raised concerns about the Swahili used in the track, suggesting that it might unintentionally invite mockery from Tanzanians due to its linguistic inaccuracies. This faction request Stevo to reconsider or face the consequences of escalating tensions.

With “BONGO MALA,” Stevo Simple Boy has ignited an intense discussion within the music community, leaving Kenyans divided over the best course of action. As the rap feud continues to unfold, all eyes are on Stevo to see whether he will continue to hold his ground or choose a different path.
