So it seems Hip Hop is not Hip Hop without a little beef in South African. The biggest beef we know of being that between AKA and Cassper.
Tumi Molekane has come out to squash all rumours that claim that he has a young beef with Mr Boss Zonke, Riky Rick. He took to Instagram to address the ‘beef’ that was apparently started when Tumi rapped “where is Riky Rick” on DJ Switch’s, Way it Go track.
Tumi shares that there isn’t any beef between them and he’s approached Riky about it and they’re cool with each other.
“Now let me make something clear, I don’t have a problem with Riky Rick as a rapper or a person. This is not a diss. I have actually spoken to dude about this and as far as I know, we good.
“I did not diss homie on Way It Go. I was saying that people keep asking me what happened with Riky and what numbers my records are selling and what car I am driving and why I would make Hello Kitty. If you think that was a diss to him you misinterpreted the lyrics,” he adds.
He then adds that he would like to clear the air, since Riky also felt the need to fire shots at him thinking that they might have a problem.
He also says that battling Riky would be a complete waste of time for him.
“There will be no comeback track from me cuz that will just make me look like I am further riding on his name and let’s be honest here folks, a rap battle with Riky Rick isn’t my idea of time well spent (and I mean this with as much respect as your diss deserves.)”
“So, my official standpoint on this is God bless you and I wish you much more success than you are currently seeing. You have always been dope to me and you deserve shine. Your grind is inspiring and I wouldn’t have staked my money on it if I didn’t believe that. Thanks for the plaque, but you didn’t have to give me credit for what I didn’t do, I don’t need the look. Love T. Always Love. (P.S we should be together too),” he added.
Well ok then T from the V, thanks for clearing the air up for us.
Watch Them Make This Beef…
