Reggae musician and maverick broadcaster, Blakk Rasta has taken a dig at Sarkodie for his verse of the late Bob Marley’s Stir It Up song.
Speaking on Black Pot segment on his Urban Blend programme on 3FM, Blakk Rasta said what Sarkodie did on the Bob Marley song was a desecration of the Holy Music and legacy of Bob Marley.
.
“I’m going to bruise more egos, what Sarkodie did was nothing but a desecration of the legacy of Bob Marley, it is a desecration of the Holy music of Bob Marley, it is so shameful,” he said.
He further added that “is like a King has been buried, you dig him up and steal his gold and diamond he has been buried with, you urinate right into the grave and you walk away laughing like a mad man on heat,” the livid Blakk Rasta said.
According to him, it hurts him so much that he decided never to talk about the issue, “Sarkodie allowed himself to be used to desecrate the legacy of Bob Marley.”
“What is special about what Sarkodie did, the one way rap which has been on all these years?,”Black Rasta queried.
The “Barack Obama” hit maker further added that what Sarkodie does is nothing but one way rap and people are not ready to speak the truth.
According to him, “Bob Marley was a King in his own right, a legend in the world of Reggae who culturalised and spiritualised reggae at the same time.”
Bob Marley and the Wailer featuring Sarkodie on Stir It Up was released on January 20, 2023 and the music video has been trending on Youtube.

Ghanaian gospel musician and ministry leader Madam Emma Aboagye-Poku, known in showbiz as Royal Mama, has won the Gospel Artiste of the Year award in consecutive editions of the Ghana Music Awards (GMA) USA.
Royal Mama secured the award at the 2026 Ghana Music Awards USA ceremony held at the Hyatt Regency Princeton in New Jersey, following her victory in the same category in 2025.
The latest accolade is her fifth award overall at the event, reinforcing her standing as one of the leading figures in Ghanaian gospel music within the diaspora.
Organisers recognised the Maryland-based singer for her contribution to gospel music and her influence among Ghanaian communities abroad.
Speaking after receiving the award, Royal Mama attributed the achievement to divine grace and thanked supporters who contributed to her success. “First and foremost, I give all the glory to God Almighty for this grace. This back-to-back recognition is not by my own strength, but by His mercies and favour upon my life and ministry,” she said. She also expressed appreciation to the organisers of the awards, her management team, family, church and fans. “I want to sincerely thank the Ghana Music Awards USA for this platform that celebrates Ghanaian music and culture in the diaspora. To my management team, my family, my church, and every single person who took the time to vote and support the ministry, I am truly grateful. Your love keeps me going,” she added. The Ghana Music Awards USA honours Ghanaian musicians and industry stakeholders in the United States, recognising achievements in music and culture. Royal Mama said the award represented more than personal success and described it as a motivation to continue using gospel music to reach wider audiences. “This is for the kingdom of God and for every soul we are reaching through gospel music. My prayer is that this music continues to touch lives, bring healing, and draw people closer to Christ,” she said.
