Seems like Wakadinali wanted some smoke with Jua Cali, a Kenyan legendary musician who has been in the game for two decades and also invented a whole entire genre of music, Genge together with Nonini.
Jua Cali who is one of the few respected artistes in the country took to Twitter saying that an artiste who has been in the music scene for the longest time refused to do a Verzuz with him but he declined wanting the money to be right before he jumped on the battle with Jua Cali.
“A few months back I approached one of the OGz in the game(I will not name names) we do a #Verzus” Jua Cali said, “zile excuses nilipata ‘oh we have to get the money right’ ‘oh not sure how people will react’ ‘oh I have to consult with my people”
The tweet went viral in the country and fans became urging Jua Cali to reveal the artiste who let him down and even try to work with another artiste to an extent of throwing artistes names for him to consider.

Now among the names that were suggested was Wakadinali which is an underground hip hop group comprising of SewerSydaa, Scar, and Domani Munga who are on their way up to the mainstream music scene.
Jua Cali’s response to a fan who suggested that he should work with Wakadinali was that he can’t have a Verzuz battle with Wakadinali (who he has worked with them on a song a few years ago) doesn’t have an impressive catalog for him to go back to back with the group.
Wakadinali also responded to this telling Jua Cali it’s never that serious after he allegedly blocked them on Twitter stating that “Old is Old”.
Jua Cali said this without malice or with an intension of starting something from nothing but netizens blew the whole thing out of the water which has seen Jua Cali and Wakadinali trend on Twitter the entire day since morning.
Netizens reaction
Fans have been leaning towards Jua Cali as opposed to leaning toward the formidable rap group, Wakadinali. Some times the internet, especially KOT can be brutal

#Juacali used to pull crowds without Social media, he used to sell his music without itunes, YouTube, Boomplay, Mdundo etc. He still does that 20years down the line. The legendary Jua Cali pic.twitter.com/ncNiuTafTC

Nonini looked for Jua Cali for a collabo after leaving Calif, but Jua Cali ignored it. Mpaka Chini by Nonini feat Prezzo was supposed to feature Jua Cali, but he snubbed.

Jua Cali is a LEGEND in Kenyan Music. His efforts contributed to the birth of GENGE! a whole Genre of Music. PUT SOME RESPECT on his name! … Wakadinali are talented in their own right but they have a long way to go if they want to have the same impact with SHRAP!

People can be so disrespectful. How do you start comparing Jua Cali to Wakadinali? You people need to understand that #Juacali used to pull crowds without Social media, he used to sell his music without itunes, YouTube etc. He still does that 20years down the line.

Juacali is the King of Genge. He invented a whole Genre of Music. Put some respect on that name. Go to your village & ask who is Jua cali and even cows will moo his name. Ask your neighbor about wakadinali. Lanes pals lanes. They have good music though.

Most of us don’t even know a single face of this thing calling itself Wakadinali, leave alone their music. I heard about it yesterday when they hated on Jua Cali.
