Mark Okraku Mantey and Sarkodie
Programmes Manager at Hitz FM, Mark Okraku Mantey, says rapper Sarkodie was part of the reasons why Shatta Wale’s ‘Reign’ album launch became successful.
He stated this in an interview on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on Monday.
Mark Okraku said Sarkodie’s ‘Advice’ diss song provoked fans of Shatta Wale to turn up in their numbers to show their loyalty to their ‘God’.
“I think Sarkodie contributed to the success. Yes, his diss song got the masses out. They were angry and came to prove their support…,” he indicated.
Also, Mark Okraku also added that the host of You Say Wetin on Hitz FM, Prince Tsegah, also indirectly promoted the album when he made headlines saying ‘the media is tired of Shatta Wale’.
Earlier, Shatta Wale described fellow artistes, Sarkodie and Kwaw Kese, as poor musicians who have nothing to brag about just some few days to his album launch.
To show their dissatisfaction towards Shatta’s statement, the two artistes released diss songs to shut the dancehall act up.
But, according to Mark Okraku, it indirectly promoted Shatta’s ‘Reign’ album concert.
