Vato’s statement comes after a long beef that happened in October 2023 when Khaligraph dissed Tanzania Hip-hop artists noting they needed to revive their genre because it was long dead.
“TZ R*p was dead except for Lunya, Mex and a few others. The rest are doing amapiano, record diss tracks before attack everyone na msnijibu na amapiano, 24 hrs kama mnajiamini, failure to which I will come and launch an attack and I will take over the whole Tanzanian r*p industry and I will be the best rapper in Tanzania just like I am in Kenya and Nigeria ” Khaligraph wrote.
Following Khaligraph Jones’s statement, Vato claimed it was a sign of disrespect to Tanzania artists. He argued that as a Tanzania rapper, he had every right to defend his country from shame.
