"Hanipendangi uyo boys, kuna tu mtu hunafeel hupendangi, na huwezi mblame, damu tu zilikataa," Khaligraph explained.
Adding, "Ata siwezi mblame, ata ningekuwa yeye, singejipenda, singependa Khali."

"I respect him so much coz jamaa came out of nowhere, he came from Kibera," Khaligraph Jones emphasized.

Octopizzo speaks on beef with Khaligraph
In a past interview, Octopizzo rubbished claims that he and Jones were beefing noting that he had no bad blood with anyone in the industry.
“I don't have a grudge against anyone in this country. If there ever was one, I don't think it exists now. It eventually just went away on its own. You probably already know that most of the time when you don't react to something, it just goes away," he explained.
The 'Kilo on Kilos' crooner also revealed that he and Khaligraph exchange pleasantries when they meet but they never call each other on the phone dispensing any beef claims created by the internet.
