Deejay and songwriter Don Mafia might be caught in the lyrical feud between Kiprich and Monster Empire.

The war might soon include a third party, as Don Mafia claims General B from the Monster Empire is calling him a traitor.

When the STAR spoke with Don Mafia yesterday he explained that he has been drawn into clashes since Sting because of his song-writing skills. The first incident, he said, took place after Sting, at Uptown Mondays, when the deejay had his four tyres slashed by persons who believed he wrote lyrics for Merciless for his clash.

seh me a traitor

"I am an artiste and I'm not writing lyrics for anyone, even though everyone thinks so. Dem see me and Merciless a par at Sting and think seh me a write for Merciless and go slash my tyres. Den, last week, I was by a bar and was talking to General B, who is someone I've been friends with for the past few years," Don Mafia said.

"Kiprich came by, so mi go hail him cause is someone I know for years from Waterhouse days. When I go and hail Kiprich I never know it would be a problem. I thought the war was lyrical and not personal, cause I not taking sides I don't fight 'gainst no one and every artiste is a friend. Now, General B a seh pure negative tings bout me, seh mi disrespect him, seh me a traitor."

Don Mafia told the STAR that General B has taken the incident out of proportion, accusing him of writing clash lyrics for Kiprich in preparation for the clash at Follow Di Arrow, to be held at James Bond Beach in February.

bad mind

When asked if General B had approached him about writing lyrics for Follow Di Arrow, Don Mafia said, "General B waan mi come choose sides and help him fight 'gainst Kiprich. He was asking me for lyrics but I wasn't planning on doing it... Some people want me help dem write lyrics but I'm not a helper in the business. all these years, me a write for people and dem reach di top and bad mind me and disrespect me when dem reach. dem artistes nuh clean-hearted."

For Don Mafia, it's all about his career as a deejay and he doesn't need Kiprich to clash the Monster Empire. if he wanted to, he could spit lyrics at the Monster Empire on his own. He also elaborated that if any artiste calls his name in a song, he is more than willing to retaliate lyrically.

Don Mafia has two songs out, Hungry, a collaboration with Macka Diamond and Mad Money.
