Dremo continues to throw jibes at Sarkodie in newly released diss track.
The African hip hop scene is heating up again with monster releases. Former DMW rapper, Dremo looks set to be doubling down on his rap feud with unarguably Ghana’s biggest artist, Sarkodie. After calling out Sark for claiming the African rap throne on Saturday, Sarkodie only replied with a condescending Instagram reply, claiming that the Nigerian rapper had big potential but needed more touches. Dremo is however back with a new diss track, calling the Ghanaian rapper to go in the studio booth and respond. With a “If you Cedis, when are you Ghana reply” graphics, Dremo lands heavy punches on Sarkodie with this new diss track. Other Ghanaian rappers like Lyrical Joe have since responded but Dremo looks to be aiming at the king. It is unsure whether Sarkodie will respond but it is interesting to see how this controversy sways.
Dremo lands some heavy punches on Sarkodie with this diss track, he’s on fire 🔥🔥
