In response to the latest track’s shots, Toxic took to Instagram with a blunt reply:
“Mnafufua vitu za kitambo na mboga hamtoshi, nisikue involved kwa upuzi.”
Loosely translated, he accused the Buruklyn Boyz of dredging up old issues and serving “insufficient sauce” — signalling his disinterest in engaging with what he called “nonsense” again.
While Toxic has a reputation for sparring on social media and in diss tracks, this time he seemed to deliberately downplay the Barz war, pushing back against cheapshots rather than escalating further.
This comes amid a week of heated exchanges and online exchanges.
Fans React — Mixed Feelings Spark Online Debate
As usual, reactions across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and Reddit were swift and divided:
@buruklynboy1 joked, “Si kwa ubaya Dumpsite iko chini,” implying Buruklyn Boyz’s track Dumpsite hit harder than the latest response.
@clout_wallace chimed in with “Ameona vita ya barz hawezani,” suggesting Toxic has realised the rap battle isn’t something he wants to continue.
@ronfrisky cheekily referenced one of Toxic’s lines, “walua wanauliza kama wakam na ugali ju amesema hawatoshi mboga,” turning the diss into meme fodder among fans.
Across Reddit threads discussing the beef, some fans praised the back-and-forth as “content for the culture,” while others warned against allowing rivalry to spill into real life.
Comments ranged from celebratory (“This beef makes Kenyan rap more interesting”) to cautionary (“Keep it in the booth, not the streets”).
Context: A Beef That Refuses to Quit
This latest chapter isn’t the first time Toxic Lyrikali has been embroiled in public rap disputes.
The artist — known for his aggressive lyrical persona and social media feuds — has previously tangled with other Kenyan rappers over diss tracks and online confrontations.
In some past cases, he even denied holding long-term grudges, claiming he prefers to let his music speak for itself.
Meanwhile, Buruklyn Boyz, hailing from Buru Buru, have made their own waves in Nairobi’s drill and hip-hop scene, carving out a reputation for punch-filled verses and catchy hooks.
