Blakk Rasta has opened up about his feud with singer Efya and media personality Nana Aba Anamoah over Sarkodie’s verse on the remix version of Bob Marley’s song Stir It Up.
The Barack Obama hitmaker said he voiced his displeasure with Sarkodie’s contribution to the iconic song because he found it disrespectful to the late great Bob Marley’s legacy.
Recall that when Rasta openly shared his criticism of Sarkodie, he clashed with Nana Aba Anamoah, who called his statement hogwash and inebriated for his remarks while Efya said he made funny music and hence most likely lacked the moral authority to speak on the foregoing.
Blakk Rasta retaliated by accusing Efya of being a drug addict and criticizing Nana Aba Anamoah’s fluency in English, saying she speaks ‘kindergarten’ English.
Shedding light on the feud for the first time, Blakk Rasta mentioned that he does not regret putting the two women in their place because they wanted to bury him as they did to Patapaa but he stood his ground and ‘gave’ it to them wotowoto.
He asserted that the “One Corner” hitmaker, who is frequently called untalented by industry insiders, has encountered difficulties in the business.
If you don’t understand, then that is different. But you come out and it looks like you want to trample on the brand. It’s not easy to build a brand.
You build it over a long time, and they want to ruin it. This is what they did to Patapaa and they have almost buried Patapaa.
No matter how much Patapaa tries to come out, it’s very difficult for him because they have branded him as a man who doesn’t make sensible songs. They wanted to slap that thing on me. So I had to educate them and discipline them.
He further accused them of lacking a basic understanding of art and stated that his attacks against them were meant to educate and discipline them.
It is painful because you could just wave it away depending on who it comes from and other times you may have to call them back and give them a good discipline like I did with Efya and Nana Aba and all those ignoramuses.
They said I make funny songs. I asked them, is ‘Thief President’ a funny song to you? Is ‘Our Africa’ a funny song to you? They don’t understand what art is. I
had to bring them home and teach them that not all music is lyrical. And when I gave them that punch, they had to go back to school.
