Nonfa is something that makes no sense.<\/p>\n<p>This wouldn\u2019t be the first time Asante has called other rappers out to his throne ascension desires.<\/p>\n<p>On his hip-hop song \u2018H33333r\u2019 the rapper spoke about the ills in the industry and a whole lot. Asante rapped about there being only 7 top musicians in the music game in Ghana. Hold that\u2019s not all. <\/p>\n<p>On \u2018Mee Gye\u2019 and \u2018H33333r\u2019 Asante just cut through everyone whilst also thumping his chest as the best rapper in the country.
