Award-winning Kenyan rapper Henry Ohanga aka Octopizzo has once again addressed his alleged beef with fellow rapper Brian Ouko Omollo aka Khaligraph Jones.

In a recent interview, Octo made it clear that beef is only beneficial in the Hip-hop World when the involved acts are making money from it. 

He went on to shout out Papa Jones – asking him to continue putting out good music.

“Huyu ni Moria wangu na azidi kuweka bidii. Piga mawe,” Octopizzo said.  

Asked if he has listened to Papa Jones’ new single dubbed Bang, he replied; “I haven’t heard the song but you can play it for me if you have it. If I could have listened to it, I could have easily talked about it. Huyo ni Moria wangu,’.

The Ivo Ivo hit-maker further explains his logic when it comes to existing beef in the Hip-Hop world.

“The only time beef inamake sense ni time artistes wanamake doo but make ni Entertainment then its bullsh*t. So ati tUnabeef for entertainment, si heri nitoe nguo nitembe tao nitrend. Sai Ukiniona tao bila nguo si natrend number one? ,” Octopizzo noted. 

“So until we sit down and agree…for example two people are beefing and they announce that they are dropping Albums at the same time and we look at sales or even go on tour together and make money…So till then hii ni entertainment and I’m not in the entertainment business. For me, I want money and not just money but a lot of money,”. 

At the same time, Octopizzo asked fans and industry players to stop classifying Arbantone as a genre but instead call it riddim.
