The multi-award winning rapper revealed in an interview with VoxAfrica that his lyrics were merely allusions to his career highlights and stories about his history.
He also revealed that, since these artists are not rappers, he would never “jab” them. Sarkodie says he likes the trend and energy because it is “great PR,” even though the rumours are unfounded.
âI donât understand what is going on but I just love it. It is great PR, you cannot even pay for this. I am just talking to rappers about how long I have been there. It is just references of how long I have been there, itâs not throwing jabs at anybody.
âThese are amazing and incredible artistesâŚto be very honest, I wouldnât like to even clear this because I like the energy that is going on, itâs not true but Iâm loving it,â he said.

Rising Ghanaian reggae/dancehall performer Lawrence Senyo Adiase, better known by his stage name DSL, is working to change the unfavourable image of Kasoa, a popular town in the central region.
Although Kasoa is frequently associated with infamous crimes, murder, weird happenings, and chaos, the young crooner is determined to show off its positive and artistic qualities.

Asked if he believes those stories of male private parts getting missing randomly, the 2023 VGMA Unsung Artiste of the year said; âYes I believe them. you see we the Gen Z children we havenât seen or witness spiritual stuffs, so we make mockery of everything. As for me because of the things I have seen while growing upâŚI somehow believe.â

Davido was blocked by Medikal in a snap response that suggests a serious rift in their once cordial relationship.
While fans are keen to learn the underlying problems, neither Medikal nor Davido have made any public comments on the particulars of the social media backlash.
