Malawi’s rap scene has been cooking this year, and the main dish? A full-course beef between Achina Gattah Ase and Ace Jizzy. Here’s how it’s been unfolding:
Jan 21 – Ace Jizzy fires the first shot with Dodi, a track representing Malawian artists as footballers. He subtly hints that Gattah isn’t playing well and should be subbed.

Feb 8 – Ace Jizzy doubles down with a freestyle, flexing that “ine ndi dolo kuposa Achina Gattah”
Feb 11 – Gattah claps back with Mpando, a diss track that not only drags Ace Jizzy but also his longtime collaborator, Bee Jay. The punchline? He accuses them of giving each other “BJs.” Ouch.

Feb 13 – Gattah takes the beef to Facebook, reminding Malawi (and Ace Jizzy) that he and Bee Jay don’t own cars.

Feb 17 – Ace Jizzy teases that he’s working on a response track. The streets get ready.
Feb 19 – …only for him to say he won’t drop the song due to “contractual issues” with Drop Down Entertainment. The streets? Disappointed.

Feb 21 – Gattah doesn’t let him breathe, mocking Ace Jizzy for attending the SONA for the Youth event. “How can you improve the country when you haven’t improved yourself?” he asks. Brutal.

April 1 – Gattah plays his own April Fools’ joke, calling Ace Jizzy a fool. No further details needed.

April 3 – The beef is far from over—Gattah drops Circle Ya ADANI, yet another diss track aimed at Ace Jizzy. The streets are eating this up.
What’s next? A response? Another freestyle? A rap battle? We wait.
