Social media was abuzz this week after producers and event organisers Director Toolz and HitBoss appeared to exchange tense messages online.
In a post shared on his official account, Director Toolz accused an unnamed rival of “buying influencers, buying numbers, and blinding artists with dirty money,” alleging attempts to lure his signed acts with financial promises.
He ended the post with a firm warning, suggesting the conflict may not end quietly.
Not long after, HitBoss took to his own platform with a cryptic post, claiming to have discovered “who sent people to poison his Red Bull at the event.”
He cautioned followers not to be fooled by smiles, describing certain individuals as “witches,” and warned that “it is about to get tough.”
Though no names were mentioned, many fans quickly linked the two posts, sparking speculation across social media.
The exchange has divided followers of both figures, with some calling for peace and others defending their favourite.
Industry observers have expressed concern over the public nature of the fallout, urging both parties to settle their differences privately and keep the focus on music and collaboration.
At this stage, the claims made in the posts remain unverified, and neither Director Toolz nor HitBoss has issued an official clarification.
The situation continues to unfold, leaving fans watching closely for what happens next.
