Mosiria calls on Toxic Lyrikali and Buruklyn Boyz to settle beef without violence
Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, has stepped in to cool tensions between rapper Toxic Lyrikali and drill group Buruklyn Boyz, urging the artistes to keep their rivalry strictly musical and avoid any physical confrontation.
Responding to an Instagram post shared on Monday, February 23, 2026, highlighting chaos caused by the ongoing beef, Mosiria made it clear that the matter should not escalate beyond lyrical exchanges.

He emphasised that the feud should remain in the studio, with both sides throwing bars competitively but without hate or violence.
“Hii beef niliimaliza na isikue physical. Watu waingie studio warushe mistari kama more serious bila chuki,” Mosiria urged.
Mosiria on the hip-hop beef
This comes after Mosiria stepped into the ongoing rap feud between the rappers.
In a statement shared on his Instagram account on Friday, February 21, 2026, Mosiria revealed that he had gone to the studio to respond after the artistes mentioned his name in their diss tracks, as he hinted at releasing his track More Serious.
The county official said he felt compelled to respond after both sides dragged his name into their diss tracks without his consent.
“Today I have decided not to go to the gym, I am going to the studio instead! Kuna wasanii wamekua wakibeef wakanieka kwa mix Yao bila kujua nakuanga Mkali wao, Acha niwapikie pia kitu moto apa ndio wajue Mimi ndio Babu Yao mwenyewe! Hawa Vijana wamekua wakivurugana wakitaja taja jinangu wajue nishawazima sasa na hii track!” Mosiria said.
”Wakitaka real Challenge wakuje tupatane kwa Kiwanja. Niko ready kuwekelea 200k wa-battle tuone nani mnoma Kati ya Toxic LYRIKALI na BRUKULYN boys,” Mosiria stated.
Beef
The conflict began when Toxic Lyrikali, who calls himself the ‘King of Kayole’, went live on Instagram in an emotional session. During the live broadcast, he accused the Buruklyn Boyz, made up of Ajay and Mr Right, of copying his style to benefit from his success.
“Sasa hawa majamaa wameanza ku mimic kila kitu nafanya (Now these guys have started mimicking everything I do),” Toxic said. “They are just jumping on the dancehall trend because they’ve seen how I’ve built that ground. Wanakosa originality.”
Mr Right responded strongly and dismissed the claims. He said he cannot be boxed into one sound.
“I am a versatile artist. My creative freedom cannot be confined to one sound,” he fired back.
Chaos
The rivalry took a worrying turn on Monday, February 16, 2026, when reports emerged of a chaotic confrontation in Donholm. Supporters believed to be linked to both sides clashed, leading to property damage and minor injuries.
Nairobi police were called in to calm the situation and record statements from people of interest. Although no arrests were made immediately, the incident raised fears that the beef was going too far.
