In a lengthy post on Instagram, Sameer revealed that there is a popular Kenyan artiste who has a grudge with Nyashinski and could not be bothered to support him for his big nomination. “Nyash is a snob, the guy doesn’t even pick phone calls,” the artiste told Sameer.

In response Nay wa Mitego said: “Ndio maana game ya Kenya ime stuck! Sisi TZ hatuna umoja ka vile but si kwenye vitu kama hivyo. Angalau tunawekaga tofauti zetu pembeni kidogo. Ila kwa hiyo ya #Nyashinski mmetuzidi wazee. Roho mbaya,” he wrote on Instagram.
