Popular Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has denied feuding with Nigerian Afrobeats musicians Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
In his recent song, ‘Brag,’ Sarkodie created controversy by bragging about being in the music industry before Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
The dispute has strained relations between Dremo, a former Davido signee, and Lyrical Joe, a Sarkodie signee, who have been releasing fresh diss singles almost every day.
Sarkodie has now addressed the situation. In an interview with RODE, the ‘Azonto’ singer revealed that the references to Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy in his song were just to highlight his longevity in the music industry.
He noted that if he wanted to sling insults, he would have targeted rappers rather than vocalists.
He stated, “Wizkid, Burna Boy, and Davido would never think I wanted to jab them because if I wanted to jab anyone, it had to be rappers. They’re not rappers.
“I am just talking to rappers about how long I’ve been there and who else is best to use as reverence? Everybody knows Wizkid, Burna Boy, Black Sheriff, Asake and Davido. And it’s true that I was in the industry before they all came in. It’s just references of how long I’ve been there. It’s not throwing jabs at anybody. These are incredible, amazing artists.”
