“If I had my way, I would stripe Sarkodie off all his ambassadorial deals, ban his music for his disrespect for womanhood,” he advocated.

Sarkodie stated in his rap, “I never thought I was going on this wave, ’cause I was ready to take a couple of things to my grave. First of all, let me clap for you baby you are brave but you can’t pick and choose what to say pls behave, nobody sent you so Ohemaa if you want to talk, you have to tell the world every ngga that you fcked” Sarkodie said in the first lines of his song.
The back-and-forth between Sarkodie and Yvonne Nelson has sparked public interest and discussions as fans and listeners share their thoughts on Sarkodie’s response and the revelations from both sides.
