After this high-profile confrontation, Oluwadolarz and Sarkodie’s fight has become a major talking point, dominating headlines and stoking rumors about both artists’ futures.
It is well known that Ghana and Nigeria are constantly at odds over something. If not judgment over jollof rice, it would be on sport, beauty or music. However, this time, Oluwadolarz, the Nigerian comedian, has set the internet ablaze with his controversial diss track “Letter To Sarkodie,” a Ghanaian rap icon. The letter was squarely aimed at Sarkodie to mockingly incite debate and speculation within the music industry.
In “Letter To Sarkodie,” Oluwadolarz pulls no punches, launching a scathing attack on Sarkodie’s legacy and musical prowess. The track is laced with sharp lyrics and cutting remarks, painting a picture of a once-revered artist now facing the harsh scrutiny of a younger, hungrier competitor who is not even a rapper but a comedian.
Oluwadolarz even likened Sarkodie to Nigerian rappers M.I. Abaga and Vector in the diss track, suggesting that Sarkodie should be schooled by them. In his lyrics “… But I no blame you sha, nah Vector wey dey lock up, person wey suppose school you”.
His audacity in taking on a heavyweight like Sarkodie has polarized opinions, with some applauding his boldness and others condemning it as disrespectful and uncalled for.
Fans are fiercely defending their favorite artist and having intense debates about the merits of the diss track on social media, which has resulted in an explosion of reactions to this musical showdown.
