KRG The Don’s Diss Track Aimed At US-Based Creator Malcom Sparks Backlash
The ongoing feud between Dancehall artist KRG The Don and US-based Kenyan content creator Malcom has reached a fever pitch with the release of a new diss track titled “Big League.” However, the lyrical attack appears to have missed its mark, drawing significant criticism from fans and netizens alike.
The Origin of the Beef
The tension between the two started when Malcom, a digital creator and truck driver, publicly questioned the criteria used to crown KRG as Kenya’s Dancehall Artist of the Year. The critique did not sit well with the self-proclaimed “Bughaa,” who quickly took to the studio to respond.
“Big League” Lyrical Barbs
In the track, KRG attempts to assert his dominance by claiming he operates on a level Malcom can never reach. The lyrics are pointed, with KRG accusing the creator of being a “clout chaser” who is using his name to gain relevance.
“You want clout you call mi name; kwa hizi levels hatuplay same games… stay in your lane, music business, different game,” KRG sings, emphasizing his seniority in the industry.
The artist goes further, likening Malcom’s outspoken nature to a “nosy women’s representative” and dismissing his lifestyle as mediocre.
“Umama kama women rep, mediocre mwecheche,” the song continues, as KRG doubles down on his claim that he has built a brand while Malcom is simply “riding on the fame.”
Backfire and Reactions
Despite the aggressive posturing, “Big League” has faced a lukewarm reception. Many listeners have argued that the diss track feels forced, with some defending Malcom’s right to critique the industry. Critics have noted that while KRG focuses on his status and “levels,” the track lacks the lyrical punch expected from a top-tier Dancehall artist.
As Malcom continues to engage his audience from the US, this latest musical jab from KRG suggests that the “Dancehall King” title remains a sensitive subject for the artist—one he is willing to defend in the booth, even if the audience isn’t entirely convinced.
