What started as a few shady Instagram stories has escalated into one of the most heated and personal feuds in South African music this year. Singer Andre Graham and rapper Junior King have gone from subliminals to straight-up lyrical warfare, and the latest shots—delivered in raw diss tracks and social media videos—have fans locked in.

đŸ„Š*** IG Shots & “Headshot”***

It began when Andre posted cryptic jabs aimed at Junior on IG. Within days, Junior responded with “Headshot,” a hard-hitting diss that addressed Andre directly, questioning his authenticity and motives.

Not long after, Andre dropped “6PM,” a smoother but calculated response. One line in particular sparked controversy:

“Tell the people who Denver is
 but I know you can't.”

Listeners were quick to point out the jab seemed aimed at Junior’s father. The problem? Junior’s father is alive, while Andre’s father passed away—making the line awkward, misleading, and arguably out of bounds.

đŸ”„ “Awonke” – Junior Goes for the Jugular

Junior hit back with “Awonke,” and this time, he wasn’t holding anything back. The track wasn’t just a lyrical reply—it was personal.

He alleged that Andre is staying at the Radisson through a sexual relationship, and claimed the entire beef was a PR stunt to build hype around Andre’s EP. The chorus and tone made it clear: Junior wanted to expose what he saw as fabrication behind the fame.

“Jy’s nie famous nie, net ‘n promo show.”

Fans quickly labeled “Awonke” the most personal diss so far. The lyrics cut deeper than just rap — this was about credibility, real-life choices, and betrayal.

🎧 Andre’s New Diss Track (Posted on Socials Only)

Not one to let it slide, Andre clapped back with a full-on diss track of his own — but instead of releasing it traditionally via YouTube, Spotify, or Apple Music, he chose to upload it directly to Facebook and Instagram.

The production was crisp, and the bars were sharp. The lyrics included shots about ghostwriting, Junior’s failed relationships, obsession with clout, and even alluded to Junior’s role in his own marriage breakdown:

“You lost your marriage all because of that?”

Andre also claimed he wrote for award-winning artists and labelled Junior’s attacks as fabricated drama.

The track immediately went viral, sparking debates across Facebook, WhatsApp groups, and IG stories. Some praised Andre’s confidence and pen game. Others felt the content was crossing boundaries that should’ve stayed private.


🧠*** Real Conflict or Rollout Strategy?***

Is this all real? Or part of a carefully planned rollout? With both artists working on upcoming projects, the timing feels strategic—but the personal nature of the lyrics and raw emotion suggests this might be bigger than marketing.

đŸŽ€ Final Thoughts

This isn’t just a rap beef anymore—it’s a deep, public, and emotional standoff. As both artists dig deeper and fans choose sides, one thing is clear: it’s not over yet.
