Nigerian vs Ghanaian twitter seem to be at loggerheads again but this time, it’s not over jollof or football. At the center of the storm are two rising stars from West Africa, Nigeria’s Zinoleesky and Ghana’s Moliy. What began as a harmless fan rumor quickly spiraled into an online back-and-forth that has social media timelines on fire and fans in both countries choosing sides.
How It All Started
The spark came from a fan page that announced a supposed collaboration between Zinoleesky and Moliy. The post, which looked convincing enough to spread quickly, claimed that the Nigerian hitmaker and the Ghanaian songstress had a track on the way. But Moliy’s response flipped the switch. She simply replied, “Who???” — a single word that said everything.
Her reaction instantly went viral, and fans interpreted it as shade aimed at Zinoleesky. The Nigerian artist, known for hits like Personal and Call of Duty, reportedly didn’t take it lightly. He allegedly clapped back by calling Moliy a “two-hit wonder” and went as far as suggesting she try other means of staying relevant.
Moliy Fires Back
The Ghanaian singer, best known for her infectious feature on Amaarae’s Sad Girlz Luv Money and viral hit, Shake it To The Max, didn’t stay silent. She fired back with a confident post declaring she was “very grateful to not be known by” Zinoleesky and emphasized that “real artists know me, not local champions.” Her words carried the sting of pride and defiance, the kind that fuels online debates and national loyalties.
Fans Fuel the Flames
In true internet fashion, fans from both sides took over. Nigerian supporters defended Zinoleesky, accusing Moliy of chasing clout, while Ghanaian fans hailed her for standing her ground. What was once just a misunderstanding over a fan-made post turned into a full-blown culture war between two powerful fanbases.
Across Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok, the exchanges have been intense, memes, reaction videos, and comment threads filled with jokes, insults, and regional banter. Neither artist has released an official statement, but their online jabs have been enough to keep the buzz alive.
Both Zinoleesky and Moliy are incredibly talented artists with distinct sounds and growing international recognition. Their online spat might fade with time, but it serves as a reminder that in today’s music world, one misunderstanding can trend faster than a hit song.
As fans continue to debate who was wrong or right, one thing is certain, the digital age has turned the Afrobeats scene into a global stage where even the smallest spark can set the internet ablaze.
