Kippo decimated the Monster Empire during his performance at Jamworld Centre, Portmore.

Deejay KipRich is accusing the Monster Empire of running from the lyrical war at Sting last Friday night at the Jamworld Centre, Portmore.

The Monster Empire, however, claimed that they did not run from the clash but were barred from taking on Kiprich lyrically onstage.

Kiprich gave a powerful performance displaying his warring side and effectively putting his competition, the Monster Empire, in their place. Dubbing the Monster Empire the 'Monster Flop' or 'Monster Sprat', Kiprich proudly proclaimed at Sting that he had come for the war to a huge forward from the crowd.

Now as the dust settles Kiprich tells THE STAR that he is happy about how Sting turned out. "It was very good. Mi feel awesome right now, my phone is ringing off the hook more than ever.

Mi did come well prepared, mi know di ting and mi come wid mi ammunition."

His ammunition, however, was not returned as before the Monster Empire hit the Sting stage, they got a monster boo from the massive Sting crowd. According to Kiprich the Monster Empire are cowards.

"Dem come and run. Di people come Sting this year for clash and most people know bout the feud between me and Monster. Lyrical battle is wah Sting deh and dem come pon TV seh dem more prepared than me. Bout me a likkle baby but di likkle baby mash dem up," Kiprich said.

Yet, when THE STAR spoke to General B from the Monster Empire, he claimed that the Empire was ready for the clash but was barred from entering the stage during Kiprich's performance.

He said "Kiprich call out wi name, when mi go backstage, dem bar we from going on the stage, and seh wi mus wait our turn. Den look how much artiste work afta Kiprich before it was our turn, we were ready for anyting."

As for the huge boo they received on stage General B said it was all a matter of timing and they had been slated for a time that was too near the Mavado and Kartel clash.

General B says for the Monster Empire, the lyrical war is not over. "Wi nah tek dat, we on for anywhere we see him."

For Kiprich however, the argument has been settled at Sting. "Dem dead already, now is time to think bout songs for the fans cause dem caan follow mi."

The Kiprich-Monster Empire feud which has been brewing for some time started with a controversial song done by Kiprich entitled Dem Caan Cow Wi. Since then, the two have been throwing words musically and in the media.
