Popular Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has refuted claims of a feud with Nigerian Afrobeats heavyweights Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy.

This clarification follows the controversy sparked by his recent song, 'Brag,' where he highlighted his longevity in the music industry, stating he was active before the three superstars.

The track 'Brag' stirred significant controversy, causing friction between Sarkodie's camp and those of the Nigerian artists.

Nollywood Times reported that this tension escalated into a public spat between Dremo, a former signee of Davido, and Lyrical Joe, who is signed under Sarkodie. Both artists have been releasing diss tracks aimed at each other daily.

Addressing the issue in an interview with RODE, Sarkodie explained that his mention of Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy was merely to emphasize his experience and longevity in the music scene, not to throw jabs at the artists. 

By addressing the controversy directly, Sarkodie aims to dispel any misunderstandings and maintain a cordial relationship with his Nigerian counterparts.

Sarkodie said: “Wizkid, Burna Boy and Davido would never think I want to jab them because if I want to jab somebody, it has to be rappers. They are not rappers.

“I am just talking to rappers about how long I’ve been there and who else is best to use as reverence? Everybody knows Wizkid, Burna Boy, Black Sheriff, Asake and Davido. And it’s true that I was in the industry before they all came in. It’s just references of how long I’ve been there. It’s not throwing jabs at anybody. These are incredible, amazing artists.”
