The Bongo star asserted that Tanzania boasts well-established rappers whose prowess is unparalleled.
"How I went so hard to give you the only award this year. I didn't know you could feel that big and disrespect my brothers! You really know all your rap inspiration is from Tanzania bro. Don't forget home !!!! Do you know weusiii?? What about your daddy County Boy... Tanzanian hip hop is another level," Harmonize wrote on his Instastories.
Khaligraph says he's the best rapper
In a past interview with Oga Obinna, the artiste addressed comparisons to other top rappers like King Kaka, Nyashinski, and Octopizzo.
He said that he is better than them at rapping and that they could not compete with him on that level.
"They can't match me in rapping. They can't match me. They can only outshine me in something else, like dressing. Nyashinski is a good rapper but still, he can't outshine me," Khaligraph said.
