Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has stirred up some controversy with his latest rap track released on Friday, taking aim at Nigeria’s top three musicians – Davido, Wizkid, and Burna Boy.
In his song, Sarkodie boasts about his accomplishments, highlighting his 2016 sold-out show at the O2 arena, a feat he claims Davido and Wizkid have yet to achieve. He goes further to assert that he paved the way for them, setting a standard they are still striving to meet.
The rapper also places Grammy Award-winning Burna Boy and Ghanaian rapper Black Sherif in the same league as himself, suggesting they share a comparable level of success.
One particularly notable line from the song goes: “Wizkid came, I was already doing it; Davido started, I was improving it; then Odogwu came through Black Sherif and Asake.” This lyric implies that Sarkodie sees himself as a trailblazer whose influence has shaped the paths of others in the industry.
Sarkodie’s bold statements are sure to spark discussions among fans and critics alike, adding another layer of intrigue to the ongoing conversation about the dynamic music scene in Africa.
