I CAN’T BELIEVE YOU JABBED YVONNE; IT WAS HARSH – American Broadcaster Slams Sarkodie

“What’s your decision in making this song? People are calling it a diss song. It is harsh, I’ll say because it hurt my heart when I heard it; I’d not want to go back and forth with Sark on an issue like this.”

In response, Sarkodie said he realized some have taken his leniency to be his weakness.

“It is a sensitive conversation,” he said of the abortion episode, adding “The reason why I didn’t do any media or press thing around it is because I might lose how I will like to present what I will like to present, what I feel about it.”

He admitted that an entire track responding to someone was not how he usually responds to issues, but that he was forced in this particular instance.

“With this situation, I am not going to sit here and say I am super proud of everything. It is just in the moment how I felt, whether being my truth, there should have been a way you could have said it, that is why I don’t like to speak about it,” he added.

“This is a conversation between two people; we could have a conversation if you want to talk about it because it involves me as well. But because people know that Sark doesn’t speak, people think they can say something and get away with it.”

On June 18, 2023, actress Yvonne Nelson launched her memoir which among others chronicled the search for her father.

A chapter of the book, however, became topical as Yvonne disclosed that she got pregnant for Sarkodie in 2010 but the rapper rejected the idea of keeping the baby.

Considering that she had grown up without a father, Yvonne said she had an abortion because she did not want her child to suffer the same fate.

In response, Sarkodie released ‘Try Me’. Some argued he went overboard for punctuating his response with vulgar words, accusing him of disrespecting womanhood while others came to his defence.
