However, the award-winning rapper detailed that he had been asked to sign a contract with Life Living Records, the record label that manages the Asakaa boys, to work without any payment.

According to Yaw Tog, it was not much of a big deal, but he needed to work with the notion that he would be duly credited for his work.

During the interview, the young talented rapper asserted that his manager, upon seeing the details of the contract, advised that he rejected it.

Yaw Tog said:

"The contract was not straight forward. I was asked to sign a contract by Life Living records to work with the group but without pay. I was trying to make it for myself so my manager advised that I turn it down. I cannot work without being paid. However, we told them that anytime they needed me, I would be available for them. It was not a big issue".
