Renowned Ghanaian broadcaster, Blessed Godsbrain Smart, popularly known as Captain Smart, has criticized rapper Sarkodie for his diss track in response to revelations made by actress and producer, Yvonne Nelson. Smart argues that the song only corroborates what Nelson wrote in her memoir titled ‘I am not Yvonne Nelson’.
Captain Smart, who made the remarks in an interview on TV3’s Urban Blend, on Wednesday, June 29, 2023, added that the title of Sarkodie's music, ‘Try Me’, suggests that he was daring Yvonne Nelson, which is unacceptable. Smart further stated that any man who dares a woman is a coward, and that Sarkodie's response has only managed to make things worse.
Yvonne had released her book on Father’s Day, generating controversy and anticipation for a response from Sarkodie, who released a song on June 28, 2023, responding to Yvonne. Among other things, Sarkodie indicated that Yvonne Nelson had multiple partners, and if she decided to tell the story of how their encounter in 2010 unfolded, she should have told the truth.
Sarkodie's chorus to the song is translated as: “If you don’t love me, leave me. Why are you pestering me? What is meant for me you have gone to give to Kwame. I have become teary. If you don’t love me, leave me let me be. Someone else is longing to be with me, when you were leaving me, you failed to notify me. Baby girl don’t try me.”
On Yvonne’s claim that Sarkodie could not wait for her to get rid of the pregnancy, the rapper said he did not ask Yvonne Nelson to abort the baby, it was her sole decision. According to him, he asked her to keep the baby but she chose her education above the baby. Also, he asked his doctor to examine her, but Yvonne refused the offer and opted for an abortion doctor prescribed by her friend.
The controversy surrounding Yvonne's book has been a major talking point in Ghana. However, Smart's comments have added a new dimension to the conversation, highlighting the importance of respecting women and avoiding undue pressure. It remains to be seen how Sarkodie and Yvonne will respond to Smart's comments and what impact it will have on the ongoing controversy.
