Ex-Doe and Chicago
Ghanaian rapper, who shot to fame after he featured on Daavi Mede Kuku song with colleague rapper Ex-Doe in 1997, Patrick Gogoh, popularly known as Chicago, says their feud got them richer.
In an interview on Asempa FM’s weekend entertainment show dubbed ‘Tête-à-Tête’, he said the beef with Ex-Doe got him on many music shows.
“Sometimes you have to grab the bull by the horn. If I hadn’t done that, like no one would hear from me… we took advantage of the situation,” he told the host Kweku Adu Kumi.
Ex-Doe and Chicago had a beef in the 90s over the track. The feud started when both artistes claimed full ownership to the song.
Ex-Doe released a diss song against Chicago called ‘Maba’ and Chicago also subsequently released a counter diss song, ‘Nipa ye adea Ose Ayeyi’ that also became the talk of the town.
Meanwhile, Chicago in his latest interview recounted playing about five shows in a day due to the buzz that he had garnered then.
“Most of the organisers wanted us everywhere. I remember playing five shows in a day one Easter. We were just smart about it.
“I even lost my voice; five shows in one day. So imagine the cash we got. If we didn’t look smart, we would have made a folly out of ourselves,” he said.
