Marrakech – Over the past two days, rappers Khtek and Frizzy have entered into an open lyrical battle, exchanging three diss tracks in rapid succession and adding yet another high-profile beef to an already crowded year of rivalries in Moroccan hip-hop.
The origins of this clash trace back four months, when Frizzy released a short track titled “Biba.” While the song did not explicitly name Khtek, many listeners initially perceived it as a self-braggadocious release.
However, closer attention revealed sharply targeted bars, including direct insults accusing a female rapper of selling out her principles, constantly seeking external validation to bolster her self-confidence, and surrounding herself with a circle that only pretends to be supportive.
Frizzy also asserted her clear artistic superiority over the unnamed rival, a message that many interpreted as being aimed squarely at Khtek.
Prior to the release of “Biba,” Khtek had already expressed dissatisfaction with certain figures she believed were distorting the image of Moroccan hip-hop, without naming anyone directly.
Her response came in the form of “Frisbee,” a track in which she highlighted her five-year career, built through local and international appearances and major live performances.
In the diss, Khtek portrayed Frizzy as a newcomer to the scene and likened her aggressive approach to the rough defensive style of Real Madrid’s Sergio Ramos, warning her against continuing the exchange.
Khtek also emphasized her industry recognition, notably referencing her win at the 2024 edition of the Billboard Arabia Award for Best Arab Hip-Hop Female Artist.
Frizzy responded within just eight hours, releasing two tracks back-to-back: “Frizelda” and “Big Mom.” In “Frizelda,” she focused on her personal achievements and organic audience acceptance, contrasting them with what she described as the forced promotion of certain artists.
The track highlighted a perceived gap in lyrical ability between the two rappers and showcased Frizzy’s wordplay and technical confidence. Notably, she flipped Khtek’s Sergio Ramos reference by comparing her own presence to that of football star Zlatan Ibrahimović, positioning herself as a dominant and charismatic force.
The second track, “Big Mom,” took a more analytical turn, centering on Khtek’s public persona.
Frizzy claimed that Khtek’s openness about her mental health struggles amounted to emotional manipulation of both the music scene and the audience.
She went further by suggesting that this narrative played a role in Khtek receiving the Billboard Arabia award, as well as in her high-profile appearances, including an invitation from ElGrande Toto to perform on Jam Show and participate in Planète Rap Marrakech sessions.
