Sarkodie has announced his readiness to take on foreign rappers in a lyrical battle. According to the two-time BET Award winner, he is NOT interested in any local rap beef at the moment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u2018Kanta\u2019 rapper disclosed this during his conversation with Ghanaian UK-based socialite, Emmanuel Sandyman, popularly known as Fire Stick. During their conversation, Sarkodie emphasized that he will never battle any young Ghanaian rapper who challenges him directly or indirectly.<\/p>\n

King Sark, however, admitted that he has an interest in taking on an international rapper. \u201cM.I. Abaga, yeah. Definitely<\/em>,\u201d he nodded. When the host cited the South African rap act also, Cassper Yyovest, he responded \u201cCassper, yeah<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Expressing why he will take on the rappers mentioned, Sark with his hands in the air demonstrated the said rappers are of a \u201chigher level\u201d.\u00a0<\/em>He explained that \u201cno disrespect [to other rappers] but let\u2019s be realistic, businesswise\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

According to the most decorated Ghanaian rapper, his concerns are majorly promotional. \u201cIf I have a lyrical battle with Cassper, South Africa will be watching what I\u2019m doing. Nigeria, if I battle M.I., they\u2019ll watch.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

The rapper who is on record to have only battled M.anifest, another top-notch Ghanaian rapper, added that if he battles someone from Ghana, only Ghanaians would watch and Ghanaians are already his audience. He then asked \u201cwho would I then want to listen to me battle?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In 2016, the \u2018Highest\u2019 rapper and the \u2018godMC\u2019 rapper locked horns in what remains one of Ghana\u2019s most talked about rap battles. In 2018, they smoked the lyrical peace pipe after King Sark showed up at Manifest\u2019s concert.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The two top Ghanaian rappers later collaborated on a song released by Sarkodie. The song was titled \u2018Brown Paper Bag\u2019.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
