Kenyan Artists Engage in Online Feud ¶
Willy Paul and Rayvanny, two prominent Kenyan artists, have been involved in a heated online feud. The dispute began when the two artists worked on a song together, 'Chuchuma(a)', but ultimately decided to release their own versions of the track.
Willy Paul released his version of 'Chuchuma' on September 11, 2019, which has garnered 799,995 views on YouTube. In contrast, Rayvanny's version, 'Chuchumaa', was released on October 5, 2019, and has already accumulated 1,473,218 views on the platform.
The feud escalated with both artists releasing diss tracks, with Willy Paul referring to Rayvanny as 'Funny Boy' and Rayvanny calling Willy Paul a 'dog' in his lyrics. The two artists have a history of collaborating, having worked together on a song called 'MMMH' which has gained over 10 million views on YouTube.
Despite their online feud, it appears that the two artists have the potential to achieve great things when they work together. However, their current dispute has led to a war of words between them, with each artist trying to outdo the other.
