Gender activist Esther Tawiah has called on the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) to bar the popular Try Me song of Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie.

Tawiah's remarks come after Sarkodie's rebuttal to the actress, Yvonne Nelson, in the form of his song Try Me, which addressed her accusations of pregnancy neglect.

Tawiah's explanation

The gender activist urged MUSIGA and the media to make Sarkodie a scapegoat for denigrating womanhood in her reaction to Natalie Fort on GHOne TV.

One must get to know their entire escapade before coming out in a particular manner like this. If you act basically because you are in pain, you can destroy a whole lot. The same goes for acting up like a saint but not really.

@bigquammy05 recalled:

This is not the first time VGMA has banned a song like that. It happened to "Agyai" by R2Bees ft Sarkodie and Nana Boro, apparently based on Sark's lyrics which depicted explicit content.

They should place a ban on her book too.

@Mrfordjourr commented:

All these people are covered by their own pains in their past. How can you say this? When Sarkodie was being humiliated by the media, regardless of the reputation he had built, we were silent. Now, there is a rebut you want to make a gender stand with it. Ain't you shameless?

@nnaphty commented:

I applaud anyone who's able to watch this till the end.
