Patapaa refuses to apologize to Sarkodie amid industry tension

Ghanaian musician Justice Amoah, known professionally as Patapaa, has rejected calls to apologize to rapper Michael Owusu Addo, known as Sarkodie. During an interview on Okay FM, the ‘One Corner’ hitmaker stated he will not apologize because he feels disrespected by the rapper.

The rift between the two artists reportedly dates back to 2018, following lyrical references made by Sarkodie that Patapaa perceived as disrespectful. Patapaa also alleged that Sarkodie’s influence has negatively impacted his career, claiming that some radio presenters avoid playing his music following instructions from senior artists.

Patapaa dismissed suggestions that Sarkodie contributed to his success, attributing the global popularity of his hit ‘One Corner’ to divine grace. He further rejected prophetic claims suggesting a public reconciliation is necessary for his career trajectory, maintaining that he is the aggrieved party in the dispute.
