Bahati’s New Track Fails to Impress Fans Amid Music Feud

Kenyan musician Bahati recently dropped a diss track titled ‘Lost Kwa Throne’, targeting fellow artistes Toxic Lyrikali and Buruklyn Boyz. The song, which premiered on YouTube on March 6, 2026, aimed to assert Bahati as the ‘king of the East’ and mark his stance in the ongoing feud between old-school and new-generation Kenyan musicians. Despite the hype, fans and critics alike have not taken kindly to the track. Many have publicly criticised its quality and questioned its relevance in the rapidly evolving local music scene. Comments online ranged from lukewarm reactions to outright dismissal, with some listeners stating they would not replay the song. This feud is part of a larger pattern in Nairobi’s music scene, where lyrical battles sometimes escalate into public spats. Toxic Lyrikali and Buruklyn Boyz themselves have previously clashed with other musicians like Tipsy Gee and Fathermoh, representing a newer wave in the industry. The online war sparked by Bahati’s track has drawn attention but also concern, as it risks intensifying tensions that have previously led to minor street violence, as evidenced by a recent attack on Toxic in Kiamaiko. While Bahati’s track was intended to showcase his musical dominance, it seems the public is more interested in substantive music than online diss wars.
