Sarkodie hardly grants interviews but made an exception when he sat with controversial fashion critic Fire Stick in a one-on-one interview.

In the conversation with Fire Stick, Sarkodie threw shade at Ghanaian journalists and said they had no moral right to criticise musicians who are unable to make a career breakthrough on the international scene if the journalists themselves have not made it to international media houses like the BBC.

According to the rapper, it is not just the effort of musicians that is going to take the industry forward. He said the efforts of media personalities in high places also count. Hence, journalists should also strive to better themselves and get to high places to lend a helping hand to musicians.

His comments did not sit right with media personalities like Kumasi-based radio show host, Dj slim, as he lashed out at the rapper on social media. Sarkodie's comments sparked an interesting debate on social media.
