The Kenyan music scene is no stranger to public spats, but the latest exchange between Toxic Lyrikali and Tipsy Gee has caught the attention of Gengetone fans.
Earlier this week, Tipsy Gee alleged that Toxic Lyrikali had refused to collaborate with him — a move that, in Tipsy’s telling, suggested the rapper was unwilling to work with certain artists.
Toxic Lyrikali has now addressed the matter head-on, denying the claim and accusing Tipsy Gee of clout chasing. According to Toxic, the story was a calculated move meant to “paint me as rude and snobby” in the public eye, despite there being no such refusal.
“That’s not how it happened,” Toxic said. “The narrative being pushed is false. This is just for attention.”
While the two artists have crossed paths in the industry before, there’s no record of a formal collaboration between them — and after this public dispute, fans are unsure if there ever will be.
Reactions online have been mixed. Some listeners are siding with Toxic, saying he has the right to choose collaborations without pressure. Others believe Tipsy Gee may have been speaking his truth and that the disagreement highlights deeper tensions in the music scene.
For now, both camps remain firm in their positions. Whether this situation ends in reconciliation, a diss track, or simply fades away remains to be seen.
One thing is certain — Gengetone fans will be watching closely.
