I Am Bigger Than Sarkodie- Shatta Wale Beats War Drum
Shatta Wale has said unequivocally that he is bigger than his former buddy and industry colleague Sarkodie and therefore hates it when the two of them are compared.
In his typical fiery demeanour, the Reggae/Dancehall specialist said putting him and the revered rapper in the same bracket often massages Sarkdoie’s ego.
His outburst is hinged on Ola Michael objecting to Shatta Wale receiving a diplomatic passport because of his perceived bad behaviour on social media during the United Showbiz show last weekend. According to him, Ola Michael should have compared him to Samini instead of Sarkodie.
Explaining his viewpoint, Shatta Wale mentioned that during the time his music was making waves with his hit track “Bandana,” neither Sarkodie nor Stonebwoy was prominent.
“The moment you compare me to Sarkodie then you make him feel big. When I talk to him, he wants to rub shoulders with me. Where I have been, you (Sarkodie) has never been there before. You people make it seem like Sarkodie is bigger than me. He can never be bigger than me in his life.
“Some parents have first born and second born. The second born can never be bigger than the firstborn. It can never happen. I am not saying Sarkodie isn’t successful but the mindset I have, he doesn’t have it. He is doing his own stuff,” he said while speaking in an interview on Empire FM.
Days ago, Ola Michael unequivocally stated that someone like Shatta Wale deserves no diplomatic passport, as espoused by former French ambassador Anne Sophie Avé.
The radio personality and former filmmaker went berserk and cast a slur on the honcho of the SM fraternity, saying his brand is too unattractive to deserve a diplomatic passport. According to Ola Michael, Wale’s penchant for insulting anyone who crosses his path, with or without any provocation, is enough to buttress his defiant posture.
He suggested that the other artistes Anne Sophie Avé proposed the diplomatic passports for deserve it but Wale doesn’t. The studio discussion was enacted at the latest edition of United Showbiz and was superintended by regular host MzGee, who expressed great surprise at Ola Michael’s submission.
