Sarkodie Is A Hypocrite: He Needs To Be Humble – Shatta Wale

Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has described rapper Sarkodie as a “hypocrite” who does not match up to his level,adding that he deserve some respect since he(Sarkodie) is a small boy in the music industry.

Shatta Wale passed this comment earlier today when he was hosted on Joy FM’s Super Morning Show with Daniel Dadzie.

“He is so hypocritical when he comes on the radio he wants to keep that fame. Fame comes with a lot of egos but I don’t have that ego… I don’t want to fake my life, I believe they are faking and the kind of attitude they are showing, it is going to worry the next generation,” he said.

Explaining further, the “My level” hitmaker said Stonebwoy, Sarkodie and other musicians had never thought of becoming musicians when he(Shatta Wale) started doing music.

”He is a very small boy for me, Sarkodie is my junior when it comes to music. He has told me before that I should produce him; [that was] ‘Bandana’ days when he was hustling. So, I think he has forgotten, he feels I am his colleague now because I look younger than him now. I knew him when he was upcoming, but right now he feels he has grown”.- he added.

He indicated that as musicians, there is the need for their lives to influence their followers and people in the country but Sarkodie, Samini and Stonebwoy do not do that.

According to him, they both know the situation on the ground but they pretend not to be aware of what music means.

Sarkodie’s diss track, “Advice”, counseled Shatta Wale thus: “Your soul is tormented cos you no dey hustle, you be talented. Chale, Mercedes-Benz no dey talk chaw but still relevance unprecedented. This be the time we for takeover, up till now we no fit sell out the Madison Square, but we fighting on Range Rover”.

In an apparent response to the song, Shatta Wale posted a photograph of his Mercedes-Benz on social with a customised number plate “Advice1 – 18” and captioned: “Advice well taken…Mercedes-Benz no dey talk”.

Subsequently, he said in the interview that: “If he knows that ‘money no be problem’, he should not come and give me advice. I have advised myself, he should also advise himself with a car, too, and let me see. That is how battles go. If you say you are strong but till now he has not even bought a car that should tell you that if [I say] Ghanaian artistes are living a hypocritical and poor life, they should understand me,” he noted.

According to him, Sarkodie should not come and advise him “if you cannot afford your own car. You are driving somebody’s car. They bring cars to you, you just drive, they sell it then you drive another car and always you don’t have a number plate”.

He further asked Sarkodie and other musicians to quit music because they do not understand the fundamentals of being a musician.
