Reggae\/dancehall artiste Theophilus Nii Arday Otoo, popularly known as Epixode, has disclosed that he faced threats and attacks after releasing his hit song “Wahala Dey” in 2019.
<\/p>\n The song, which addresses social issues and calls for change, has solidified Epixode’s reputation as a vocal advocate for social justice.
<\/p>\n During an appearance on Channel One TV, Epixode, who was promoting his new songs \u2018Nyash\u2019 and \u2018Chooboi\u2019, shared his experience after releasing the song.
<\/p>\n “Oh, yes, I was attacked when I released \u2018Wahala Dey\u2019\u2026 It\u2019s good for musicians to talk about happenings in the country, but it is dangerous,” Epixode revealed.
<\/p>\n His experiences join those of other artistes who have faced backlash over songs released which may be deemed as attacking the government.
<\/p>\n Ghanaian reggae artiste and political commentator, Blakk Rasta in an earlier interview, revealed that he received threats after his viral performance at the Nkrumah Fest, where he performed \u2018Kwame Nkrumah\u2019, \u2018Barack Obama\u2019, and the controversial \u2018Thief President\u2019.
<\/p>\n Despite clarifying that the song was not aimed at anyone specific, he faced hostility and received threatening calls.
