Freetown, SIERRA LEONE – Flames of controversy are igniting Sierra Leone’s hip-hop scene as Entertainment Ambassador Kao Denero dives into an intense feud with his long-time rival LAJ. Rumours are circulating that the two music icons are clashing not just over music, but also due to a personal conflict involving Delvaqyo, Kao’s ex and the mother of his daughter. The whispers suggest that LAJ’s alleged flirtations with Delvaqyo may have been the spark that set off this latest confrontation.
Recently, Kao Denero made headlines with claims of LAJ’s supposed closeness to Delvaqyo, going so far as to allegedly release audio recordings hinting at his suspicions. Although Kao is newly married to Esther and is awaiting the birth of their child, it seems that past emotions and pride have surfaced, making him unable to ignore the situation.
Everyone following the Sierra Leone music scene is left speculating if Kao’s reaction stems from lingering emotions for Delvaqyo or if it’s a matter of ego, especially considering LAJ has been his arch-rival for years. Fans of both artists have been vocal on social media, fuelling discussions and choosing sides in what has quickly become the most talked-about drama.
Even Delvaqyo, who usually stays out of public disputes, has now stepped forward to address the rumours. She issued a firm statement to set the record straight, asserting that Kao’s accusations are baseless. In her own words, she says, “Let me set the record straight: Kao and I are no longer together, and even if there was any truth to his accusation, it is not his place to meddle in my personal life.”
Looking to make her stance unmistakably clear, Delvaqyo expressed that Kao’s continued focus on her is unwarranted, especially since he’s now committed to another woman. “We are ex-partners,” she stated bluntly, “and my choices in who I date should not concern him, especially now that he’s married.” This response has added a new layer to the ongoing tension, suggesting that she is done tolerating Kao’s interference.
As a mother, Delvaqyo says she’s reached her limit, primarily for the sake of their daughter. “For the sake of our shared child, I have remained silent for too long. However, I have now reached my limit,” she declared. Her message underscores her commitment to protecting her peace, as well as her family’s.
Now, Delvaqyo has made it clear she is prepared to defend herself if the accusations continue. She firmly stated, “If you continue to spread lies and engage in bullying behaviour, there will be consequences.” Fans have taken note of her firm stance, admiring her willingness to publicly hold her ground.
Calling Kao out directly, Delvaqyo’s message to him is clear: he should focus on his marriage and avoid involving her in his drama. The strong language in her statement suggests that she’s unwilling to let her past relationship with him cast a shadow over her personal life and career.
Expectations are now high for Kao’s response, as his fiery personality suggests he may not take Delvaqyo’s statement lightly. Many wonder if he will double down on his claims or if he will finally step back and refocus on his current life.
Meanwhile, the other party in this saga, LAJ, has remained silent, but fans eagerly anticipate whether he will break his silence to respond to the accusations. LAJ’s response, if any, could bring a new twist to the drama, further escalating the tension between these two giants of Sierra Leone hip-hop.
Even though Delvaqyo’s statement appears to be a call for an end to the drama, the public is left wondering whether this marks the final chapter or if the feud will continue to heat up. With so much at stake, it’s clear that this is more than just a clash of egos; it’s a story that has gripped an entire nation.
Determined to stay above the fray, Delvaqyo’s message to Kao and to the public suggests a desire for peace and privacy. However, her warning of “consequences” has added a layer of intensity to the saga, making fans eager to see how Kao, LAJ, and the hip-hop community respond.
In the end, this unfolding story has proven that Sierra Leone’s hip-hop scene is anything but ordinary. With top personalities involved and fans watching every move, it’s clear that this beef between Kao Denero and LAJ is bound to leave a lasting impact on the industry. OG/9/11/2024
