Blakk Rasta, a well-known radio host and musician from Ghana, has expressed dismay at the Sarkodie song “Try Me” being shown on television. Abubakar Ahmed is also known as Blakk Rasta.
The Barack Obama hitmaker expressed issues about the song’s lyrics on Accra-based UTV, calling it filthy and juvenile.
The remarks by Blakk Rasta follow the Accra-based television station’s airing of the song “Try me.”
The song, titled “I Am Not Yvonne Nelson,” was Sarkodie’s answer to Yvonne Nelson after he was charged in her book. It contains some coarse language.
He condemned Sarkodie and the song for having explicit lyrics and questioned why it was chosen to be shown on national television, highlighting the possible harm it might do to the next generation.
“I am really shocked this song is being played on TV. Vulgarity, immaturity, childishness, 3ye ya paa to wit [its hurtful]. Because this thing is going to come online for them to watch. You can get access to this, you can say it’s night so I will air it, but the daytime it’s vulgar,” he said.
Blakk Rasta reacted to the hostess’ defense of showing the music on television by claiming that it expands its audience.
“if you ask me that, you are trying to endorse the fact that you are giving it milage. Maybe on his platform, only people will watch but a huge fat programme like this, you’ve given it more mileage,” he said.
“I thought that there will be a clean version. What you played is the dirty version,” he added.
Sarkodie produced a song in response to accusations made about him in the book ‘I am not Yvonne Nelson’ a few days after Yvonne Nelson published her biography.
