“I’m the King maker and everyone who claims to be the King should shut up  because I will decide who the king is,” he says.

Activist Boniface Mwangi also took to his Twitter account and gave voice to the ongoing rap battle tweeting; “Kenya King wa Hip Hop Ni Nani? @JulianiKenya @KHALIGRAPH @OCTOPIZZO @RabbitTheKing I will give whoever wins the contest #WhoIsKing Sh50,000,”
