Ghanaian journalist Nana Aba Anamoah and musician and radio show host Blakk Rasta exchange words on the popular blogging platform Twitter concerning an unwanted comments Blakk Rasta made about the management of the late Bob Marley recruiting Sarkodie for a remix of the late reggae icon song “stir it up”
According to Blakk Rasta, Sarkodie is a one way artist and the management should have gone in for someone versatile rather than Sarkodie. These comments made by Blakk Rasta attracted so many backlashes to him he seem not to care.
Nana Aba Anamoah reacting to the comment urged Blakk Rasta to embrace himself and accept what had happened because he is not wiser than the management of the late Bob Marley and they knew this collaboration is what they wanted.
Blakk Rasta tweeted towards the family of the late and asked them why they would do that to the legacy of Bob by featuring Sarkodie and Nana Aba who is a well know die hard fan of Sarkodie cake to the rescue. Read their tweets below;
“So @stephenmarley @ziggymarley @JulianMarley @cedellamarley, what's this new craze of DESECRATING @bobmarley music with these posthumous collaborations? Would Bob have sanctioned this if he was alive today? Remember what he said about his music and @BarryWhite music? Stop this!” Blakk Rasta tweeted, Nana Aba replying to this tweet quoted with;
“You’re not the only human being on this planet who adores Bob Marley. You’re not wiser than the managers of his estate. This desecration placard you’re wielding makes you look rather inebriated than concerned. Sark was featured because he’s superb. DEAL WITH IT!”. Black Rasta also replied;
“Awww.. As if you're stranger to Blakk Rasta. I have never hidden my true feelings and agenda. Could you, please say which of the reasons I intimated is HOGWASH. Honey, disagree with me but FACTS still SACRED. Ready to come on my #URBANBLEND show on @3fm927 so we compare facts?”. Replying to the tweets Nana Aba quoted back with a music video of Blakk Rasta with the caption;
“Bro, on the Marley -Sark feature, I've said what I have to say to you. Marley's children & his estate managers are doing what they deem fit for his legacy. Keep catching feelings. I'd however, be happy to come on your show to discuss this song instead. Mentease?”.
