Kenyan singer and rapper Dyana Cods has stirred fresh debate online after confidently claiming that no Kenyan female artist can out-sing or out-rap her — a statement that quickly drew reactions from fans who mentioned fellow artists Nikita Kering and Bridget Blue.
The controversy began after Dyana Cods made remarks asserting her dominance in both singing and lyrical delivery.
According to posts circulating online, she maintained that no female artist in Kenya matches her versatility in both rap and vocals.
A fan responded to her claims by writing: “Cods anasema hafikiwi lyrically and singing, where's kina Bridget Blue, Kering there's more.”
The comment directly challenged her assertion, suggesting that other established female musicians deserve recognition in the same breath.
However, Dyana Cods escalated the situation with a sharp response. When the fan compared her to Nikita Kering and Bridget Blue, she reportedly replied:
“Who Are Those???”

The response was interpreted by many as shade directed toward the two artists, sparking mixed reactions across social media platforms.
Some fans viewed the reply as confidence and bold branding, while others considered it dismissive toward fellow musicians who have built solid reputations in the Kenyan music industry.
Nikita Kering is widely recognized for her strong vocal range and emotional ballads, while Bridget Blue has carved her own lane with a distinct musical style and consistent releases.
The comparison by fans reflects the competitive nature of Kenya’s evolving female music scene, where artists often face scrutiny and rivalry over talent and influence.
The exchange quickly gained traction, with fans debating who truly holds the crown when it comes to lyrical prowess and vocal ability.
Some supported Dyana Cods’ confidence, arguing that self-belief is essential in a competitive industry.
Others pointed out that music is subjective and that multiple artists can thrive without diminishing each other.
As of now, neither Nikita Kering nor Bridget Blue has publicly responded to the remarks.
The situation remains a trending topic among music fans who continue to weigh in on the debate.
The incident highlights the growing spotlight on female artists in Kenya’s music industry, where conversations around talent, dominance, and recognition often ignite passionate discussions online.
Whether the comment was playful banter or intentional shade, Dyana Cods’ “Who Are Those???” response has certainly amplified the conversation — and once again placed her at the centre of Kenya’s entertainment headlines.
