  "account": "Musician Patapaa has named one of his dog's newborn puppies after Kuami Eugene, escalating a long-standing rivalry between the two artists. In a video circulating on social media, Patapaa reveals that he chose the name for one of the puppies because he believes Kuami Eugene deserves an honor for the gesture. He further implies that there is no difference between the singer and the puppy. This move comes after Kuami Eugene opted to collaborate with DopeNation instead of Patapaa in an interview. Kuami Eugene reportedly found Patapaa's songs unsophisticated, while Patapaa retaliated by sharing a clip of himself on social media, captioned \"This Dog again.\" Their conflict dates back to 2018, when Kuami Eugene criticized Patapaa's music as being overly noisy during an interview. Later, Kuami Eugene apologized, stating the remark was made in jest. Patapaa responded with a diss track.",
