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.
