Nigerian singer Zinoleesky and Ghanaian-American artist Moliy set social media ablaze this week after their heated exchange on X (formerly Twitter) spiralled into one of the most talked-about online feuds in the African music scene.
The drama unfolded on Wednesday, October 15, 2025, when Zinoleesky fired the first shot in response to a post mentioning Moliy. The Marlian Music star wrote:
“2 hits wonder… and I don’t even know the 2nd song @moliymusic.”
His comment quickly went viral, drawing reactions from fans, music critics, and fellow artists.
Unfazed, Moliy clapped back with a savage response that appeared to question Zinoleesky’s relevance beyond Nigeria. She wrote:
“Very grateful to not be known by you, artists that know me aren’t local champions.”
That reply sent the comment section into overdrive, with fans from both countries exchanging heated takes, memes, and music charts to defend their faves.
Zinoleesky didn’t back down either. He went on to refer to Moliy as a “Remix goddess”, followed by a cryptic line that many online users interpreted as a sly jab alluding to OnlyFans.
While the online storm seems to have settled for now, the fiery exchange has reignited the long-standing debate over the rivalry between Nigerian and Ghanaian artists, once again showing how social media can intensify cross-border competition in African music.
