Following the success of her hit song ‘Utawezana,’ Kenyan rapper Femi One has decided to officially address the fan-fueled beef between her and socialite Azziad Nasenya.
Despite the fact that the song has garnered over 12 million views on YouTube in the past two years, Femi is not ready to let the discussion die just yet.
Speaking through Mseto East Africa, Femi insists that she doesn’t know Azziad well enough for them to feud.
“People don’t really want to know my side of the story. First of all, mimi na Azziad sisi sio marafiki, hatujuani kabisa. Alifanya challenge just like everyone else mwenye alifanya challenge na akasubmit the video and tukapost hiyo video. Mimi na yeye hatuna issue yoyote, hajawai niambia ako na issue na mimi, na mimi sijawai mwambia niko na issue na yeye,” disclosed Femi.

Despite the fan-fueled beef that portrayed her as ungrateful, the singer is grateful for the effort she and her team put into the song, as well as everyone who participated in the challenge, including Azziad.
“Ngoma ilikuwa ikuwe a success from kutoka turecord hiyo wimbo…from the creativity, the storyline, tulikuwa tunajua wimbo utafanya vizuri. Na kusema ukweli ni mipango ya Mungu, hatuwezi sema ati ni mimi nilifanya ama ni Mejja alifanya, ni unafanya tu kazi, ukifanya kazi nzuri the rest unawachia Mungu, na mimi naamini wimbo ulienda according to God’s plan,” she continued.
According to her, the beef began when sexist fans who do not believe in female rappers’ success began criticizing her.
“Honestly mimi nilifeel, venye nilipata backlash yote, nilifeel watu wananicriticize sana kwa sababu mimi ni mwanamke na niko kwa industry na wimbo yangu imeblow up,
“Sikuona watu wakicriticise Mejja as much because people kwa society wanafeel like men wanadeserve hiyo success lakini mimi kwa sababu wimbo ni wangu na umefanya vizuri hawataki kunipatia hiyo credit,” expressed Femi.
