Stir It Up: What Sarkodie did was a desecration of Bob Marley’s Holy music and legacy – Blakk Rasta
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 rapper Medikal has praised fellow musician Black Sherif for winning the Artist of the Year award at the Telecel Ghana music awards, describing the recognition as well deserved.
Speaking on Onua Showtime on Sunday, Medikal explained that Black Sherif’s music reflects struggle, hard work and street life, which many people can relate to.
According to him, Black Sherif, popularly known as “Blacko,” earned the award because his songs connect strongly with the public.
“Obviously, if you listen to Blacko’s songs from day one, you will see that the content and lyrics are all about struggle and making it in life,” he stated.
He noted that Black Sherif’s journey from the streets to success makes his achievement inspiring to many young people.
Medikal added that he would have been happy if he had won the award himself, but he was equally happy for Black Sherif because he deserved it.
The rapper explained that his reaction during the awards event, where he nodded and applauded after the announcement, was a genuine show of support for his colleague.
He stressed that popular street songs often influence major award decisions, especially when people from different backgrounds sing and embrace the music.
According to him, Black Sherif’s hit songs became widely accepted by children, adults and even people at social gatherings and funerals, showing the level of influence he has gained.
“The street controls the song,” Medikal remarked, adding that an artiste who dominates the streets has a strong chance of winning major awards.
He further noted that he was not surprised by Black Sherif’s victory because every category Medikal himself was nominated in was highly competitive.
