Published on May 17, 2020, a public feud between two Kenyan rappers, Ex Ray and Miracle Baby, has been making headlines. The drama, which has been unfolding for months, is a classic case of two youngins who have let fame get into their tiny heads.
Ex Ray and Miracle Baby, both part of prominent gangs in the Kenyan music scene, have been trading insults and accusations on social media. While the exact cause of the fallout remains unclear, it's evident that both rappers have developed massive egos, a common affliction among celebrities who have been in the industry for a short time.
As Khaligraph, a veteran rapper, has shown, it's possible to handle conflicts with fellow artists without resorting to name-calling and public brawling. Khaligraph's approach to throwing low-key shade and avoiding direct confrontations is a lesson that Ex Ray and Miracle Baby could learn from.
Unfortunately, it seems that these young rappers are making the same mistakes that have plagued their predecessors, such as Jimwat, who failed to capitalize on his fame due to a lack of guidance and mentorship.
As we watch the drama unfold, it's hard not to feel a sense of disappointment and frustration. Perhaps it's time for these rappers to take a step back, reflect on their actions, and seek guidance from more experienced artists.
