After calling both Malie Donn and Armanii “trash” and receiving sharp replies from the two, Valiant released another round of statements that showed he had no intention of softening his stance. Instead, he pushed the feud further, addressing each artiste separately while reinforcing his loyalty to his camp, Diplomats.
When speaking on Malie Donn, Valiant addressed claims made by Malie that he was chasing a collaboration. He claimed that Malie Donn’s producer, Dransky, had contacted him seeking a collaboration, one Valiant said was meant to save his career. Rather than backing down, he doubled the disrespect by calling out both Malie Donn and Dransky at the same time. He framed the alleged request as proof that he was the stronger artiste in the situation.
His remarks toward Armanii remain when he declared himself to be superior. Valiant insisted that none of his foes in the dancehall space were operating at his level, suggesting that artists like Armanii were trying to hide his “glory.” He declared himself “the man” in dancehall and made it clear that he intended to stay there. Even as he sent respectful shoutouts to some of the younger artistes, he warned that if they were not aligned with him or his label, they stood on the opposite side.
The message was not only for the artistes involved. Valiant also sent an insult toward anyone recommending that he calm down or ignore the drama. According to him, anyone offering that advice needed to “pick yuh side” because he remained firmly on the Diplomats’ side and expected others to do the same.
In what appeared to be a continuation of his response to Armanii, Valiant added another pointed jab, telling him to “stop live ina man shadow.” He said he was not an “informa” to reveal private conversations to the media, but he hinted that Armanii had made negative comments about other artists. Without giving details, he closed his message with “time a master” suggesting that whatever he was withholding would eventually come to light.
