MODENINE AND MUNA IN WAR OF WORDS

Modenine says Muna is just a little girl…
Reverred rapper Modenine and beauty-
queen-turned-rapper Munachi Abii were
... locked in a war of words during a rap
competition which took place some weeks
ago.
Muna, who was the host of the just
concluded ‘Nokia Don’t Break the Beat’ rap
competition which took place at the GET
Arena on Saturday, April 28 was involved in
a brief exchange with Modenine who was a
head judge after the rapper decided along
with the other judges (renowned disc
jockey DJ Jimmy JATT and Knighthouse
record label boss Rogba Arimoro) that
‘T.K.O’ had won the final rap bout, with the
first runner up being Black Jeez.
Muna sought a different opinion and made
it known as she contended the judges’
decision by saying she did not agree with
the decision, claiming she had a say in the
judgement.
‘I don’t agree with you but, my opinion
matters too, you know’, Muna told
Modenine.
A clearly pissed off Modenine tried to clear
Muna as to what her role as a host should
be and how vastly experienced he was a
Hip-Hop veteran. ‘I’ve been listening to hip-
hop for a long time, trust me, you have to
respect my opinion’, the rap veteran told
Muna right in front of the crowd.
‘I’ve also been listening to Hip-Hop for a
long time, I respect your decision but my
opinion matters, please pass the mic men’,
Muna rudely replied Modenine right in front
of the mammoth crowd.
Speaking with Nigezie right after the show,
Modenine said ‘she was very disrespectful
but I had to put her in check immediately. I
was called here to judge because of my level
of experience….It was very wrong for her to
just cut me off’.
DJ Jimmy JATT also had something to say ‘…
It was wrong what she did. Judges are
judges, comperes are comperes’. The
veteran DJ disclosed that there were other
things Muna was doing wrong on stage but
they all decided to overlook it.
Speaking with Modenine this morning, he
says Muna is yet to issue an apology to him.
‘It’s been a month plus, I’ve forgotten about
all that, I’ve got bigger wars to fight. Cocaine
is a hell of a drug, stay away from drugs.
And to if he will be releasing any diss songs
soon, he says ‘I’m a lyrical warrior but I
don’t kill women or children’.
Muna could not be reach immediately for comments.
Munachi Gail Teresa Abii Nwankwo, 24, won
the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria pageant
in 2007 and then surprised all when she
launched her rap career months later.
Modenine is considered as one of Africa’s
greatest rappers with over four albums, five
mixtapes and numerous awards to his
credit.
