P-Jay and Wendyyyyy Beef Enters Rap Kreyol

LEOGANE, Haiti (defend.ht) - Friends on Wendyyyyy's Facebook profile and members of P-Jay's fan page, have witnessed in recent days a brewing feud between the two rappers.

Certain posts made by the two young rappers on Sunday, the 22nd of July in the afternoon have led to what is being described as a beef.

The first one to post about the beef was Wendy King-nan Trakarecords (Leogane) who wrote:

Plim Pam (P-JAY Diss) - Wendyyyyy

“GADE FAKE nan rap kreyol moun yo ___ P-JAY mandem fè Featuring Track (PLIM PAM) nan avèl depi ANE PASE .. li kenbe TRACK la li pa janm sotil .. kounya ALBUM li pral soti Li pa gen chalè ..

BANN rapè sezon ”

translated:

“Look at all these fakers in the rap creole movement ____ P-Jay asked me to do a featuring with him on the track ( PLIM PAM ) on his first album last year. However, he never put the track out. Now because his second album is going to be out soon and he's not feeling excited enough about this, his staff decided to take the verse I did last year and posted it on youtube under the title ( Wendyyyy Plim pam Freestyle ( P-jay Diss ) so he can have more people on his side for his upcoming album to have more sales _____________________ So you're calling this album ( Men sak BEST ) and all that you found to do was this little FAKE GAME so you excited loll _________ you're not the BEST you're not the BEST Hooooooo stop lying to yourself .........lol .....******”

A few hours later , P-Jay Plim Pam Fan Page made a response to Wendy's post and wrote what is following:

“LMAOOOOO ..MEZANMI FOK MWEN KOMANSE BAGAY SA AK YON GRO LOL... FANATIK P-JAY YO, NOU POKO KONPRANN SAKAPFET LA..TANDE TRACK LA MWEN PA GEN DWA SOU LI. MWEN PA ANBA RKM ANKO SO SIL SOTI SE RKM AK HIPKREYOL KI KONEN KOMANL FE SOTI."

"1- MWEN PAT AL MANDE WENDY TRACK, RKM TE FE SELEKTION KIYES KI POU SOU TRACK LA. SO YO TE DIM MEN SELEKSYON YO. M DI P-JAY SON TRAIN LI YE ANN LAGE LMAOOOO"

"SO TRACK LA F...ET, RKM PA JANM METEL DEYO SO M PA GEN ANYEN POUM WE AK SA."

"***********MANGO'S LOUNGEEEEEEEEEE 3 AOUTTTTTTTTT***************** VIN PRAN ALBUM PAW LA.... EPI PWEN FINAL WI.......”

“LMAOOOOO..... “Mezanmi” I gotta start all this with an big LOL.....All P-Jay's fans, you guys don't understand what is going on here.....You know, I have no right on that track as I am not working together with RKM anymore, so if Wendy's verse has been out, RKM and HIPHOPKREYOL are the only ones who know how it happened."

"1- I never asked Wendy to do a featuring with me, RKM did. They made a list of rappers who could potentially do the featuring on the track and then they made their choice. Later on, they presented me the name of the rapper who would do the featuring and I said P-Jay is a train so let's put it out LMAOOO. The track has then been done and RKM never put it out so it is clear that I have nothing to do with this."

"And as they say that I'm not the best for real, there is one last thing I'm gonna say: “ Men lie, Woman lie, Numbers don't” So go on youtube, Itunes , compare the views and you'll see which one of us is The Best."

"In the meantime, Wendy can get all his excitement under my name, the best P-JAYBOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Mango's Lounge August 3rd....."

"One last thing again, each time I'm listening to (WENDYYYYYYY) he reminds me of GBOBBY (DAT'S MEEEEEEEEE) So they couldn't wait for the dude to die and then steal his style. RIP BON FLOW..... It is you and FANTOM only who give LEOGANE respect......"

"*********MANGO'S LOUNGEEEEEEEEEE AUGUST 3RD********* COME AND GET YOUR ALBUM, PERIOD.........”

They say “Rap kreyol pa janm fet san beef” or there cannot be creole rap without beef. However, this feud for sure will divide both P-Jay's and Wendy's fans. Plus, P-Jay as Wendy may lose some of them. But still, we can't tell which person or which group of people is responsible for this new feud between the two young rappers.

Some say all of this was done by P-Jay's staff because of the lack of visibility he had just before the launch of his second album, Men Sa'k Best, but on the other hand, some others say that Wendy wanted to have more visibility too just before his upcoming tour in Haiti in August.

Could RKM records be behind all this? If yes, for what motive exactly? Could both rappers and their staff have planned all of this in order to help one another, so one could have more sales for his album and the other one more people coming to his shows?

Many things are being said about that, but no matter who is behind that scheme (whether it is or not), quite obviously, every rapper who is in the game, after gaining his/her own respect, should be respected for the work he/she has done by the other rappers as well as by the fans.
