Dr. UN Slams Sarkodie Over Grammy Ambitions in Fiery Freestyle
Controversial figure Dr. UN has sparked a fresh wave of drama in the Ghanaian entertainment scene with his harsh remarks about one of Africa’s rap icons, Michael Owusu Addo popularly known as Sarkodie. In a fiery interview on Lawson Afisem, hosted by Maame Frimpomaa Korankye Dr. UN did not hold back as he took aim at the celebrated rapper, adding fuel to an already simmering rivalry.
Dr. UN, who recently announced his foray into the music industry, expressed confidence that despite his relatively new entrance into the music scene, he was already surpassing many established artists in Ghana. The self-acclaimed best event organizer revealed that he had recently ventured into music, claiming he was performing better than most of the country’s top musicians.
However, it was when the conversation shifted to a freestyle that Dr. UN’s true feelings towards Sarkodie came to light. In a shocking display of verbal firepower, Dr. UN took direct aim at the rapper, mocking his ambitions and talent.
During his freestyle, Dr. UN threw jabs at Sarkodie’s style, referencing the rapper’s roots in Tema and his use of Twi in his rap. He sarcastically suggested that while Sarkodie aspired to win a Grammy Award, he should instead focus on conquering Kumasi, implying that breaking into the international scene was an unrealistic goal for the rapper.
Dr. UN’s remarks were loaded with criticism, as he implied that Sarkodie’s music, largely in Twi, might not have the universal appeal needed to cross borders and achieve global recognition. He advised Sarkodie to focus on more localized success rather than dreaming of international accolades.
Sarkodie, known for his ability to blend Twi with international rap elements, has earned recognition both in Africa and globally. His track record includes several award wins, including BET Awards, and his collaboration with international artists such as E-40, Sway, and others.
Dr. UN’s comments have ignited a new wave of conversation in the entertainment industry, with many fans and artists alike waiting to see how Sarkodie will respond to the bold attack. As the rivalry continues to simmer, it’s clear that this controversy has once again brought Dr. UN into the limelight.
While it remains to be seen whether Sarkodie will address the remarks, Dr. UN’s audacious statements are a reminder of the fierce competition and egos within the Ghanaian music industry.
