Shatta Wale, Sarkodie beef brings excitement into Ghanaian music – DopeNation

Ghanaian musical duo DopeNation have said they are happy when Ghanaian artistes engage in brawls or beefs with each other because they find it healthy for the showbiz industry in Ghana.

The duo were speaking in an interview on the Class Drive on Class91.3FM, Tuesday, 16 October 2018, following recent reports about brawls between dancehall artiste Shatta Wale and rapper Sarkodie.

According to DopeNation, when they see artistes beefing, it makes them happy because it brings Ghanaian music alive.

B2 told show host Prince Benjamin that: “It’s high time Ghana got to understand showbiz; I wouldn’t say I’m encouraging conflict, but it’s high time we got to understand how showbiz is. Sakordie, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy; these people have gotten to understand that feeding fans with our personal lifestyle and then what we feel about another artistes is more; instead of giving them the music they want to make you feel what’s in them, if you look at Sakordie’s career, Sakordie’s career has been giving fans different tastes of how showbiz is like, it’s making Ghana music go alive.

“I wouldn’t have known that Shatta Wale’s album was number one on iTunes in different countries in less than twenty-four hours if it wasn’t for this beef that was going on, it’s made Ghanaians more interested about music.

“For me, it encourages me the more, it’s making me know Sakordie can pull this number when he’s having his concert, Shatta Wale can pull this number.”

Twist added: “All of the stuff that happened before the concert contributed to the number of people going for the concert. If they say Sakordie doesn’t brag, but Shatta Wale brags a lot about his riches, the way he brags motivates, it inspires people out there like someone who lives in his small single room who drinks tea in the evening, bread and egg in the evening, will be motivated Shatta Wale was once here and he has the G-Wagon and he has this now, so, it’s a source of motivation. Sakordie also brags with his career, too, and where he has taken Ghana music to. We are happy that they are beefing, it all adds up.”

DopeNation, which is made up of identical twin brothers, Micheal Boafo, popularly known as B2, and Tony Boafo, known as Twist, have individually produced many hits including Ebony’s first hit song ‘Poison’ and Eazzy’s ‘Forever’ among others.

Popularly known for their hit song ‘Eish’, the duo are currently promoting their new song ‘Naami’ which means ‘See me’.
