After the Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie released a song called “Inflation” in which he attacked President Mahama’s government and questioned whether the president is really working for the interest of Ghana or not.
The Ghanian President Mahama was asked his opinions on the current state of music in the country, and specifically if he’s heard of the rapper Sarkodie’s inflation ‘diss’ song towards him.
The President of the Nation replied saying that the BET award winner is the most overrated rapper Ghana has ever seen.

He also said:
“I don’t quite understand what he wants to accomplish with his music. “He has some good songs, but he’s at best an average musician. He should focus on music that brings unity and uplifts the spirit of the good people of this country as we experience a short term economic challenge. I must say the song is very funny. He is a genius in that regard, but in the grand scheme of things, I will not consider him a good rapper or a musician at that,”
President Mahama also sent a message to other musicians who are perhaps thinking about following Sarkodie’s footsteps in attacking him in their songs. “I can’t stop you from doing what you want to do, but be careful with the words you use towards me, after all i am the first gentleman of this great nation and thus deserve some respect at minimum. I am not trying to stop people from exercising their freedom of speech, but in all reality, I do not appreciate disrespect in any form.”
