With an interview at Wasafi Media, Khaligraph said that his message during the interview was taken and interpreted out of context, that he did not mean to demean Tanzanian rappers.
Days after, he took to his Instagram account asking Tanzanians for a battle.
“Tanzanians, your rappers have 24 hours to respond, failure to which I will launch an attack and I will take over the whole Tanzanian music industry and become the best rapper in Tanzania, just like I am the best rapper in Nigeria and Kenya! ” Khaligraph declared.
Tanzanian artist Harmonize and several rappers , Rosa Ree being among them came open to answer Khaligraph. This created the ongoing beef between Kenyan and Tanzanian rappers .

“Pia Mimi vile niliona hiyo interview imekatwa sikuskia vizuri ju niliona imeniweka kwa picha Mbaya. It wasn’t supposed to be like that. Najua watu wengine hawatawai elewa. That one I apologize for.” said the rapper.
