MODE 9 IN VERBAL FEUD



You must have heard all about the argument between rap veteran Mode 9 and new comer girl rapper, Munachi Abii at the Nokia Don’t Break The Beat Competition. Their scuffle started at the grand finale of  the Nokia “Don’t break The Beat” competition which took place on Saturday, April 28th at GET Arena .
Muna who was host of the show had disagreed with the judges final decision of the winner insisting that her opinion also mattered.
It did not go down well with Mode 9 who was one of the Judges. He quickly corrected her;  asking that she respect their decision as Judges but Muna bluntly asked him to “pass the mic”. The judges were Jimmy JATT, Modenine and Rogba. After the verbal feud, Nigezie interviewed Mode Nine, DJ Jimmy Jatt and Jesse Jagz and they all appear to hold the same opinion that Muna was disrespectful.

Well, the whole affair  caused an uproar on twitter as most people argued in favour of the veteran rapper, Mode 9. Seeing as the brawl was getting out of hand, Muna's management issued a statement.
However Muna’s PR company have blasted the press. An excerpt of the statement from RMG Company reads
Lastly, I would like to reiterate that this issue will not be resolved publicly and played out in the media or on blog pages for the amusement and enjoyment of gossip junkies and gist merchants.
I’m sorry to disappoint those who are waiting with their mouths open, there will be no leaked emails, back and forth exclusive interviews or Twitter “gangsterisms”.
At least not from our side, and as you all know, Mode 9 is big a man enough not to subscribe to media hype over something that, quite rightly, he took as disrespectful but not life threatening.  This is Hip Hop, not the Civil War Part 2.”

Muna, however, has since apologised. She tweeted I want us to be cool like before we were before the Nokia show, please accept my apology. Modey I know we had a chat and still face to face but to stop all this madness I’m sorry boo.
Mode 9 is yet to reply to this but it’s evident he holds no grudges against her.
