"Mnani Advise?": Toxic Lyrikali's Controversial Statement to 2 Fellow Rappers

Kenyan rapperToxic Lyrikali has once again sparked controversy in the local music scene after openly dismissing fellow artists Tipsy Gee and his close associate Parroty Vunulu.

The outspoken rapper made the remarks during a TikTok Live session, throwing shade at the two and questioning their credibility to advise him on his career.

The Statement That Stirred Debate

In his fiery comments, Toxic Lyrikali claimed he had already surpassed Tipsy Gee and Parroty Vunulu in the music industry.

“Mnani advise? Niliwapita kitambo. Ati unioneshe venye nitakaa kwa game na ndio unapata YouTube plaque sai,” he said.

His words quickly spread across social media platforms, igniting conversations among fans, industry insiders, and fellow artists.

Online fans reaction

As expected, Toxic Lyrikali’s statement divided opinion:

Supporters applauded his confidence, arguing that his consistency and lyrical dominance in the Kenyan rap game justify his boldness.

Critics, however, felt he was disrespectful and undermined the achievements of artists who are also pushing boundaries in the industry.

One fan on TikTok commented: “Plaques don’t define talent, but Toxic is right—he’s been in the game and stayed consistent.”

Another wrote on X: “Instead of beef, why not uplift each other? Unity could take Kenyan rap further.”

YouTube Plaques as a Status Symbol

In the digital music era, YouTube plaques have become a symbol of recognition and credibility. The Silver Play Button is awarded to creators who reach 100,000 subscribers — a milestone Tipsy Gee and Parroty Vunulu recently achieved.

By pointing out that they only just received this recognition, Toxic Lyrikali implied they lack the experience and long-term credibility to give him advice about survival in the industry.

Whats Next?

So far, neither Tipsy Gee nor Parroty Vunulu has officially responded. However, fans speculate a diss track or rebuttal could be on the way, given the competitive spirit of the rap game.

Whether this shade escalates into a full-blown lyrical war or fizzles out, it has once again highlighted the thin line between rivalry, respect, and clout-chasing in Kenya’s evolving rap culture.
