Octopizzo vs everybody: Is Kenya’s hip-hop scene getting murky?

By Standard Entertainment | 3yrs ago | 2 min read

Rapper Octopizzo has managed to get under the skin of his opposition once again. Notably, his long-standing issues with peer rapper Khaligraph Jones are no longer fresh to the ears of many, but Khaligraph’s protégé Breeder LW, has gotten involved and it’s not looking exactly good.

On Sunday 23 August 2020, Breeder took to Instagram to air out dirty laundry that he had been apprehended by three armed men and rapper Octopizzo at his apparent home in Adams Arcade, Ngong Road.

In a since-deleted video published by Breeder himself circulating online the same night, the tough rapper seemed helpless begging to be heard as he posted “he feared for his life.”

“Free Breeder,” he wrote. “How can you confiscate my phone, and post sh**, ati apology. It's on! Ni kubaya sasa. Octopizzo came to my house, accompanied by three unknown people. My life is in danger.” He went on to state that he had been intruded, his phone taken, Instagram posts deleted, and dumped at Adams Arcade at exactly 4pm.

Octo was quoted saying in the video “He has 100 n****s kwa hizi streets” in the same video doing rounds online. Multiple music industry peers from Octo affiliate Boutross, Telehmani, DEZ, among others, have rallied behind rapper Breeder in support claiming that they stand with the ‘Bazenga Daddi’ artist.

“F*** you Octopizzo and everything you stand for. It’s On! Breeder LW we got you for life. CC @BenzemaDavid @KhaligraphJones and all Gengetone. K******** Unadhani hii ni LA,” wrote a heated Telehmani on Sunday night at 2247hrs.

Octo has since announced his next studio album drops on October 2020, whilst taking a flight to Amsterdam, the Netherlands for the mixing and mastering of the project.
