Mosiria hits the studio to settle Toxic Lyrikali vs Buruklyn Boyz beef

Nairobi County Chief Officer for Citizen Engagement and Customer Service, Geoffrey Mosiria, has stepped into the ongoing rap feud between solo rapper Toxic Lyrikali and rap duo Buruklyn Boyz.

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.

Mosiria said he had been watching the back-and-forth between the artistes and decided it was time to address the matter through music. He claimed that the young rappers mentioned him without fully understanding his influence and ability.

“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.

Taking things a step further, the county chief officer proposed a physical rap battle to settle the matter. He said he was ready to put Ksh200,000 on the line for a face-to-face showdown between Toxic Lyrikali and the Buruklyn Boyz to determine who is truly the better rapper.

‎”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.

His comments add juice to a rivalry that has been building since early February.

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.

Diss tracks

The disagreement quickly moved from social media to recorded music.

On February 15, the Buruklyn Boyz released a track titled Stima. The song carried bold lines that many fans interpreted as shots at Toxic.

Just 24 hours later, Toxic answered back with his own track, Dumpsite. In the song, he directly attacked the duo’s background and questioned their authenticity. He mocked their upbringing in Buru Buru and their claim to represent Eastlands culture.

“Buru Buru isn’t real Eastlands. You guys are playing at being ‘genje’, but you don’t know the real trenches,” Toxic rapped.

The exchange split fans online. Supporters from both camps defended their favourite artistes, turning comment sections into battlegrounds.

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.

There were also concerns that such violence could trigger a crackdown on Gengetone and Drill events in the city.

Following the chaos, Toxic distanced himself from the street violence and called for calm.

“Whatever happened in the streets is not something I ordered. I stand on music, let the music talk, let the numbers talk, let the people decide. End violence,” he said.

Despite the call for peace, the Buruklyn Boyz released another track titled Genje Sana. Toxic has already dismissed the new song as “stale”, showing that the musical battle is far from over.
