The drama between former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko and US-based YouTuber Andrew Kibe continues to unleash after both men, renown for their outburst and tough opinions continue to throw jobs at each other in the twitter war.
The conflict began when Kibe questioned the legitimacy of Mike Sonko's 'designer brands'. The former radio host also called Sonko out for promoting western brands and appearing to leave no legacy himself.
Kibe also taunted the former governor to join one of his YouTube Live sessions, seeing that now he seemed to have more time on his hands.
Sonko was fast to respond hurling insults at Kibe and warning him to keep off his private life.
"I have heard you. I'm not stupid. Keep off my private life. I am a brand to myself. I don't need to show it off. Stop attacking women!" a furious Sonko ranted.
"The other day, you were attacking Bahati, a young man trying to earn a living. You attacked Kamene Goro, Millicent Omanga, and Karen Nyamu. What is wrong with you? You are full of gossip!"
"Come and attack us while you are in the country. We will deal with you. Behave! If you are desperate for views, come I employ you," he added.
On Twitter, where Mike Sonko loves to dump most of his tirades, the attacks went on, with the flamboyant politician even questioning Kibe's sexuality, in a homophobic tweet which has already been viewed over 400,000 times.
"Mwanaume kuwa sh**a nikitu mbaya sana. Will tell you why this g*y divorced "HER" wife," he tweeted.
Kibe, who must have been asleep (given the difference in time zones) by the time Sonko was haranguing him, woke up to do what he does best - respond, harshly and jarringly.
Taking to TikTok, the former Kiss FM radio presenter derided Sonko, calling him a loser and a 'clout chaser'.
"Sonko, right now, you are a loser. Humble yourself. Then pick some wisdom nuggets because that arrogance made you lose your gubernatorial seat. Stop being emotional. You don't know who you are. You are a content creator. You are a clout chaser. Put some professionalism behind it! " Kibe said.
One thing is clear - none of these men would be willing to throw in the towel and extend the olive branch, which can only also mean one more thing; an extended period of messier, nastier and even more jaw-dropping flare-ups.
