The tension between Baba Hakeem and Toxic Lyrikali has reached a fever pitch following the leak of a heated WhatsApp exchange that highlights a deeply personal rift between the two artists. In the messages, Toxic Lyrikali takes a jab at Hakeem’s career and personal life, dismissively advising him to quit music if the industry is proving too difficult and instead focus his energy on providing for his child. Baba Hakeem quickly fired back, asserting his financial independence by claiming that music is a source of comfort and a hobby for him rather than a primary source of income, effectively dismissing Toxic's attempt to portray him as a struggling artist.

The exchange took an even more aggressive turn when Baba Hakeem challenged Toxic Lyrikali to a physical confrontation, referencing a past incident where Toxic reportedly "pulled up" on fellow artist Tipsy Gee with his crew. Boldly daring Toxic to bring his entire team for a face-to-face meeting, Hakeem claimed that they would all be forced to kneel in his presence. This escalation from lyrical shots to personal insults and threats of physical dominance has left fans on edge, as Baba Hakeem continues to position himself as the industry's self-appointed disciplinarian against what he perceives as Toxic Lyrikali’s unchecked arrogance.
