NewsOnline Nigeria reports that Nigerian rapper Zinoleesky and Ghanaian singer Moliy got into a heated social media clash on Wednesday, October 15, 2025.
The drama began after Moliy dismissed rumours of a possible collaboration with Zinoleesky in a rather condescending tone.
“Who?” Moliy wrote while quoting a tweet that featured a flyer of the alleged collaboration — a response suggesting she had no idea who Zinoleesky was.
Her remark didn’t sit well with the Nigerian rapper, who fired back by calling Moliy a “two-hit wonder,” adding that he could hardly recognize any of her songs.
Zinoleesky responded by posting, “2 hits wonder… and I don’t even know the 2nd song @Moliymusic.”
In her reply, Moliy clapped back, saying she was glad he didn’t know her, insisting she doesn’t associate with “local champions.”
“Very grateful to not be known by you. Artists that know me aren’t local champions,” she wrote.
The online exchange sparked outrage among Zinoleesky’s Nigerian fans, with some threatening to “cancel” Moliy in Nigeria.
Moliy, however, remains more popular in the UK and US Afrobeats scene, where she has earned two Official Charts and two Billboard Hot 100 entries. Her song Shake It To The Max Remix currently holds the number one spot on the US Billboard Afrobeats Chart.
