Mombasa artistes Chikuku Abdala aka Chikuzee and Yusuf Kombo aka Susumila  are truly not in good terms.

Chikuzee has accused Susumila of practising witchcraft in an effort to ward off competition in the coast's music industry. He alleges that Susumila has been crafting to see his downfall, blaming him for the four road accidents he "miraculously" survived in April this year.

"He is a witch! Susumila has a white chair in his room which nobody else is allowed to sit on. His house is full of devilish symbols which he allows no one to touch. If that's not witchcraft, I really don't know what it is. But he is not a clean man. Susumila only thinks about himself. He has a wicked heart. He must stop that," he told Word Is.

Susumila - who previously rebuffed reports that he had his mother killed as a sacrifice to an occult - dismissed the accusations as "cheap publicity wars".

"I'm very saddened by these cheap publicity talks. My enemies don't like seeing me thrive," he said.
