The escalating conflict between DJ Speedsta and K.Keed grew more pronounced today as K.Keed offered a pointed reaction to DJ Speedsta’s recent critique of her artistry and attitude.
This latest altercation follows the launch of K.Keed’s fresh track, Galileo, which was released earlier today. Moments after the song’s debut, DJ Speedsta took to his X (previously Twitter) account to express his opinions about her work. He mentioned that he had reached out to the artist privately but believed that the music she was producing did not warrant the level of confidence she displayed, which he considered to be arrogance. Furthermore, he claimed he couldn’t decipher any of the lyrics and ended with a suggestion that she should “take her L and get out of here.”
K.Keed responded directly beneath Speedsta’s tweet, labeling his comments as “loud and wrong.” She noted it was interesting that he was thinking about her at 3 a.m., implying she was in his head “rent free.” In her response, she remarked that while she wasn’t certain whether to feel flattered, Speedsta was not her kind of man. K.Keed also asserted that she had previously addressed him in private, where she extended a “God bless you” and described him as “an attention-seeking grown man.” She countered his characterization of her as arrogant, arguing that promoting her deluxe project was not synonymous with arrogance. She concluded her message by referring to him as a “weirdo.”
The existing friction between DJ Speedsta and K.Keed originated during her stint on 5FM’s 5 Hip Hop Nights, where K.Keed opted out of a live freestyle session. This decision ignited significant debate online regarding the importance of freestyling in contemporary hip hop culture. In the wake of this, K.Keed took to social media to clarify her stance, implying that her moment was merely exploited for views, and she jokingly wished Speedsta a “Happy Women’s Month.” She also shared a snippet of a track named Harsh Truths, which seemed to address the backlash she received.
DJ Speedsta rebuffed K.Keed’s assertions by reposting her comments and labeling her as “dizzy,” a word he revisited in subsequent interviews. He insisted that her response was overblown and that she had not taken accountability for the situation. The ongoing feud also strained their collaborative relationship, with Speedsta disclosing on the Podcast and Chill Network that the production of their music video for Take iT Easy was in jeopardy because of the rising tensions. He cited a communication breakdown and the absence of an apology from K.Keed as significant factors that led him to reconsider their collaboration.
This continuing discord has triggered discussions within the hip hop community regarding the generational divides in attitudes and expectations. With K.Keed’s latest comments, it seems this exchange is far from concluding and is developing publicly in real time.
K.Keed has removed the reply from her X account, yet screenshots of their interaction are still being shared online.
