"Ghanaians diss Sarkodie. They throw insults on him. I guess it an Africa thing"
Meanwhile, YEN.com.gh.com reported that renowned new media publisher, Ameyaw Debrah has pushed back against claims by Osi Suave, a Nigerian presenter, that Sarkodie does not get the recognition he deserves from Ghanaians.
Suave made the assertion during an interview with the Ghanaian rapper in Nigeria this week.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, however, Ameyaw Debrah stated that there is no truth to the statement because Ghanaians acknowledge and know how important the 'Coachella' rapper is to the Ghanaian music industry.
