Toxic Lyrikali Shuts Down “Beef” Rumors After Viral Altercation Video With Tipsy Gee

Posted on January 7, 2026 by Dennis Elnino

Kenyan rapper Toxic Lyrikali has addressed the persistent online chatter regarding his rivalries within the music industry, firmly stating that he holds no grudges. In a pointed Instagram post shared on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, the Chinje hitmaker called out fellow artists for prioritizing social media drama over actual substance.

Toxic emphasized that as far as he is concerned, his public feuds with artists like Tipsy Gee and Fathermoh concluded last year. “Kulingana na mimi, sina beef na mtu yoyote” (According to me, I don’t have beef with anyone), he asserted, signaling his desire to focus on his music in the new year.

The Fathermoh “Diss” and Toxic’s Rebuttal

The rapper’s statement follows the release of a diss track by Fathermoh just a day earlier. The track featured a mocking, AI-generated cover of Toxic as a child and took several jabs at his career, specifically questioning his international reach with the line: “Passport imejaa? Unabamba tu watu wa mtaa” (Is your passport full? You only impress the local crowd).

Toxic was quick to dismiss the attack, suggesting that Fathermoh and his crew lack the “energy” to back up their lyrics in person. He alleged that during a recent face-to-face encounter, the group “ran away” despite their bold online personas.

The Tipsy Gee “Nduthi” Skit

The tension also traces back to a viral skit by Tipsy Gee, which appeared to shade Toxic and Fathermoh by labeling them as the “Nduthi Gang” (motorcycle gang). The skit depicted Tipsy in a car while the others rode on boda bodas, implying a difference in their levels of success.

Toxic previously brushed off the jab, labeling Tipsy Gee as a “TikToker” rather than a serious musical artist. He maintained that his credibility in the rap scene—built on tracks like Backbencher—carries more weight than viral social media clout.

A Focus on Growth

Despite the back-and-forth, Toxic Lyrikali appears determined to leave the drama in 2025. Following a massive year where he was featured prominently on Spotify Wrapped 2025, the rapper is prioritizing his “Mboka Doba” brand and authentic rap over industry squabbles. He concluded his message by advising young artists to focus on their craft rather than manufactured rivalries.

“Hizi Ni Gani?” Netizens Convinced Toxic Lyrikali Is Losing His Touch In Music

There is a Swahili proverb that says “Mgema akisifiwa tembo hulitia maji,” which means “When a wine maker is praised, he adds water to his wine” a saying that many are linking Toxic Lyrikali to.

To my understanding, this proverb simply warns that praise can lead to boastfulness or deceit, causing someone to become arrogant and lose their integrity or quality standards – again, something netizens are accusing Toxic Lyrikali of.

Well, after making headlines with backbencher, not forgetting Chinje which is currently at 10 million views and counting netizens are now claiming Toxic Lyrikali has lost touch with his music.

These claims were made online by fans who have been circulating videos on social media urging the singer to quit making love songs; as well as stop giving out collaborations.

On the videos, many expressed disappointment in his latest features alleging lack of originality and creativity, as most can’t relate to the kind of message conveyed his love songs.

But to be fair, change is inevitable meaning with new money – came a new whole world for Toxic Lyrikali forcing him to adjust to a happier world – hence his new lovey dovy music.

I mean, who wouldn’t want this for themselves? Not me!

However for the sake of his music career, Toxic Lyrikali might be forced to resume to his previous style of music where he basically talked about growth and ambition – which his audience seems to prefer more.

Toxic Lyrikali is not only known for his good Music but for his ego kiburi which he wears on his head proudly.

Unlike the genge and urban tone artists you used used to, this guy Toxic Lyrikali started from the bottom building up his career as underground to the person he has since become.

His music focuses on real life issues, self improvement and having been brought up in the ghetto – the young man understands the importance of building himself through his craft and not crime.

With that said, Toxic Lyrikali of-course has a huge loyal following hence his line on hit song Sick where he raps saying me najeshi me nawaumini (I have an army, I have my believers.)

As expected, his following is that of Gen Z and being one of them, many on social media are currently calling the rapper out for his appearance at State House during a recent performance at a presidential empowerment event.

This is after Toxic Lyrikali chanted “tutam” a slang term for “two term” in reference to President William Ruto’s tenure. Having been caught on camera doing this, many fans now accuse him of aligning himself with politics and from what many claim is that he betrayed his own following and youths.

However according to Toxic Lyrikali, there was no way out but chant judging from the environment he was in. The rapper made this known thrown a few posts on his social media pages where he distanced himself from “Tutam” to “wantam” aligns to his followers interests.

Well, judging from the comments left by netizens online – it appears most continue to support Toxic Lyrikali’s hustle and understand that just like the other youths trying to get off the block – ‘mboka ni mboka.’

Toxic Lyrikali is expected to headline Mombasa’s color Fest set to happen on 16th August 2025. This will be the first event he is headlining since his fame and hopefully fans will also turn out in his support.
