On Sunday, Khaligraph Jones sparked a heated debate on social media with a message to Chipukeezy.

As he likes to call himself, Papa Jones requested Chipukeezy to ensure that all media houses bringing in Stivo Simple Boy for interviews cater for all his expenses.

Simple Boy, the artist behind the hit song 'Mihadarati', became an overnight sensation after appearing on Chipukeezy's show twice. Since then, media houses have been clamouring for an interview with him, forcing Khaligraph to come to his defense for fear that he may get exploited.

Chipukeezy's alleged response to Khaligraph's request has been viewed by some as rude and rabblerousing.

Chipukeezy is alleged to have said, 'If Khaligraph is the real OG like he calls himself, tell him to do a collabo with Simple Boy and share it on YouTube. With that, he will have shown his support for this young man.'

However, Chipukeezy has now taken to Instagram and accused a blog of trying to stir up some drama.

Chipukeezy wrote, 'Listen mpasho story kama hizi hakuna mtu zinasidia hazisaidii industry hazisaidiii wasaniii HAZIWASAIDII NYINYI WENYEWE kama MPASHO NA PIA WATU WANASOMA andikeni vitu za kikweli na kujengana... OG hawa watu wanadai aje jameni #ResepcttheOG.'
