A lyrical war is brewing in local hip-hop circles and one of the female rappers involved, Kikky Badass, is taking it personal.

Probably a clone of United States “femcees” (female emcees) Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma’s musical feud, Kikky is at loggerheads with Tiara Baluti for calling her out when she was doing an interview.
Born Christabel Mahlungwa, the cheeky 22-year-old has just released a fierce diss track featuring Cal_Vin titled Strive Masiiwa in which she lays bare Baluti’s past and “dirty laundry”.
“The inspiration behind the song is personal. I am a writer and when I write lyrics, I make sure they come from within because she [Tiara] talked about me in an interview, yet I had not attacked her before,” she told The Standard Style.
The local hip-hop scene is used to male rappers battling it out but the new development leaves only time to tell whether Tiara will respond and ignite a captivating feminine beef.

Meanwhile, Kikky is on a fast rise in the music scene as she readies for the release of her much-awaited sultry track Body Conversations.
“The video relates to the song’s lyrics which were inspired by my ex-boyfriend,” she explained the concept behind the visuals whose sensual snippet has already sent tongues wagging.
But in between the music and saucy pictures on social media, what are her plans for the future?
“My goal is to dominate in the continent and internationally, but to break boundaries you need to be known first locally so I am taking one step at a time,” she said.
Apart from music which she said was her passion since primary school days, the aspiring lawyer who surprisingly sings at church has posed as a model for some local designer, thanks to her curvaceous bikini body.
