Malawian Hip Hop Star Sparks Debate: Rick Ross or 50 Cent on His Next Concert?

Malawi’s vibrant hip hop scene is heating up, and new artist IKK is putting the spotlight squarely on himself. After witnessing his rival Tay Grin pull off a jaw-dropping concert featuring African heavyweights Wizkid and Awilo Longomba, IKK is now challenging his fans with a bold question: “Pakati Pa Rick Ross Ndi 50 Cent Sankhani M’modzi Ndimuitane?” (Between Rick Ross and 50 Cent, choose one for me to bring to my concert).

IKK, who is quickly making a name for himself in Malawi’s hip hop circuit, is known for his sharp lyrics and high-profile collaborations. His hit “Tabweraso”—featuring Malawian hip hop icon Hyphen and dancehall legend Malinga—has solidified his position as a rising star, showing he can hold his own alongside big names.

The post comes amid growing attention on IKK after Tay Grin’s successful show, which many doubted could happen. While critics questioned Tay Grin’s ability to book international stars, he delivered a memorable experience, setting a high bar for fellow artists like IKK. Now, IKK is daring his fans to pick who should headline his next concert, putting the spotlight on Rick Ross and 50 Cent, two global hip hop giants.

 

This move is more than just a fan engagement tactic—it’s a statement. IKK is signaling his ambitions to elevate Malawian hip hop and prove that local artists can aim for international standards in live performances. Fans are now buzzing with excitement, debating who they want to see on stage with IKK, and eagerly awaiting what could be a landmark event in Malawi’s music scene.

 

One thing is clear: the competition is fierce, and IKK is ready to make his mark. Will it be Rick Ross or 50 Cent? Malawi’s hip hop fans are about to make that decision.
