I was misunderstood by Kwaw Kese – Yaa Pono opens up over Sarkodie’s diss song
Rapper Yaa Pono says the MadTime boss Kwaw Kese dragged him into a beef with Sarkodie because he did not understand the lyrics of the song titled “YARD”
Yaa Pono on January 25, 2023, released a song titled ‘Yard’, which was described as a diss song for Sarkodie according to music lovers and rapper Kwaw Kese.
In the said song, Yaa Pono bragged about his skills claiming he is the boss of rap in Tema. He bragged about playing shows every weekend and also had a question in it that says, since when did we start to feature the dead?
But responding to the issue on Kingdom FM in an interview, Yaa Pono, revealed that his question in the song was intended to make it clear that, indeed Sarkodie was the first Ghanaian artist to feature a dead person so that, it can be kept in the music archives for the coming generations to learn and not to disrespect him as people have taken it to be.
“In case after some years I die, or a legend dies and 100 years later, someone features him, then they will ask, since when, and the response will be Sarkodie started it. Is that an insult?” Yaa Pono quizzed.
“I’m lyrically good so sometimes after writing my song I have to break it down before releasing it. Sometimes I speak in proverbs ad those who interpret do not get it well but then I take it cool like that. Kwaw Kese was angry because he thought I had attacked Sarkodie on that his feature with Bob Marley because in the song I said that, since when did we start to feature the dead, which I think is no insult.” Yaa Pono explained.
The rapper also wondered why people always attack him when he tries to praise himself in his rap. To him, there is no limit to lyrics in rap music hence people must try to understand his kind of music.
