Popular Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has denied feuding with Nigerian Afrobeats artists Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.
sesothomp3 reports that Sarkodie ignited controversy after bragging that he was in the music industry before Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy in his latest song, ‘Brag.’
The incident has sparked conflict between former Davido’s signee, Dremo, and Sarkodie’s signee, Lyrical Joe, both of whom have been releasing fresh diss singles everyday.
Sarkodie has now addressed the matter. In an interview with RODE, the ‘Azonto’ crooner said that his allusion to Wizkid, Davido and Burna Boy in his song was only to point out his longevity in the music industry.
He noted that if he wanted to throw jabs, his target would have been rappers, not vocalists.
He said: “Wizkid, Burna Boy and Davido would never think I want to jab them because if I want to jab somebody, it has to be rappers. They are 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 wonderful, amazing artists.”
