Khago Says The Most Ill-Mannered Deejay Will Win Jahshii Vs Silk Boss, Skeng Vs Masicka Clashes
Blood a Boil artist Khago has weighed in on the imminent showdowns at Sting which are being touted between Skeng and Masicka and Jahshii versus Silk Boss, noting that lyrics and rhymes are not what will cause any of them to win an onstage or record-for-record clash.
According to Khago, the most ruthless and ill-mannered artists, who are, most importantly, skilled at hurling insults at their opponents without caring about anyone’s feelings, will be the ones who emerge victorious.
“Meck mi tell yuh suppm bout clash. Clash a nuh how much lyrics yuh waan have. Yuh haffi facety. Yuh haffi nuh have no mannaz. Yes! Yuh haffi know how fi tell a man seh, ‘hey bway, mi wi grab on pon di womb broom unda yuh cheek an chuck off wid yuh affa Blue Mountain Peak. A suicide war yuh a get! Mi wi strap pon a bomb round mi neck an crash mi car inna yuh Chevrolet’,” Khago said citing examples of damaging phrases that could be used to unsettle opponents.
Khago went on to name himself among the clash artists who were “manners-less”, a list which also included Dancehall kingpins Bounty Killer and Vybz Kartel.
“Das why Bounty Killa suh great, cause him naw no mannaz. Him nuh know weh mannaz live,” he quipped. “Weh yuh tink seh Kartel suh great? Him nuh have nooo mannaz. When it come to clashin him nuh have no mannaz. Yes dawg!” Khago declared gleefully.
“Listen, when yuh a clash, yuh caan ha no mannaz! Yuh haffi a listen to Bounty dem! Vybz Kartel, an Khago an Kiprich. Dem nuh have no mannaz. Yuh hear Kartel seh ‘inna love an war everything a free game’. Yes! All yuh madda get dash inna it. All yuh pickinie dem. Everybaddy! An every song dat yuh use inna yuh life – a coulda even Jeezas yuh have song bout,” he continued.
Added Khago: “Yes! Yuh caan be lyrical dawg. Yuh haffi stink a sh-t. Yuh haffi stink a sh-t. Yuh haffi care less. A nuh no close rhyme… Bredda, yuh haffi naw no mannaz. A it meck Kiprich suh bad. Yes! Ryno nuh have no mannaz; Khago nuh have no mannz.”
Khago also referenced how, while being thought of as the underling, he used his ‘mannerslessness’ to floor Agent Sasco, I-Octane and Sizzla on different occasions more than a decade ago, a feat he said could be accomplished by Silk Boss and to an extent Skeng, who are being viewed as the underdogs.
“Yuh rememba same ting like when Sizzla, Octane an Assassin (Agent Sasco) jump outta dem parachute afta mi. Everybody a seh Khago a waa conscious artiste, ray ray ray. An everybaddy start a put mi inna mi place when mi answa. A di same ting mi notice – Jahshii a mi fren an mi love Jahshii. But meck mi tell oonu suppm, yuh si di yute from Montego Bay, Silk Boss – him bad. An mi tell everybaddy seh him bad,” the Manchester native said.
“An di next ting mi si people a seh Skeng caan clash Masicka. Nuttn nuh name suh. Oonu a act like microphone mute when young artiste a sing, an him headphone lock off inna him ears. Nuttn nuh gunh suh dawg. Mek mi tell yuh suppm. Yuh know di man weh yuh suppose to fraid a? DI man we nuh have nuttn fi lose – lawd Jeezas Crise. Yuh fi fraid a dat man,” an amused Khago said.
Khago has had his fair share of feuds with other artists and has used his ruthlessness on and off record, to great effect, sparing neither male or even female deejay.
In September 2018 Khago was accused of hitting below the belt during his ongoing social media feud with Tifa, which was sparked after he said Tifa was upset at the music industry because Shenseea had displaced her.
After Tifa responded hurling insults at Khago, he had gone for the jugular, and taken jabs at her physical disability, noting that the Dancehall fraternity was only tolerating her out of pity and that she should “go take some time off and go have two duck foot pitney.”
MC Nuffy also felt his wrath after coming to Tifa’s defence.
After supposed threats in 2018 by Sizzla about boxing Khago, the Walk a Mile artist in a rant addressed to the August Town native, had returned the threats and said that anytime Sizzla was ever able to box him, he would commit suicide, even as he hurled invectives at Sizzla and his mother.
In July 2012, Khago and Sizzla had become the subject of commentary pastor of the Boulevard Baptist Church in St Andrew, Devon Dick, who noted in an opinion piece in The Gleaner that two weeks prior, in an interview between Khago, and CVM’s Winford Williams on Onstage, it had emerged that Khago was at the studio with police as his bodyguard.
“Apparently, there is a feud between Khago and Sizzla in which Khago wrote a song about threesome, from which Sizzla claimed Khago was sexually freaky. And according to Khago, it was a financial bonanza to respond to Sizzla who has a wide fan base, and so it would enhance his career, facilitating a move from a Honda car to a BMW X5 or X6,” the pastor noted.
That same year, Khago also took lyrical shots at Agent Sasco who had released a song titled Bun Freaky Ras which he believed was a counteraction of his controversial Three Sum song.
Khago had responded with a Cashflow Records-produced song titled Sumn Haffi Fishy Bout You in which he called Agent Sasco (then Assassin) by name declaring him, among other things, a “carbon copy of Baby Cham”, and questioned his sexuality.
“Him a move like music police. From Kartel rub out him career, him just sit down and wait till some artiste put out a tune and him jump pon it. A nuh me make Kartel gone a jail wid Assassin book and pen,” Khago had said, noting at the time that he was disappointed in Sasco.
