Like the song’s title, the Painkiller hitmaker boasted about selling out the O2 in 2016, long before Nigerian musicians Wizkid and Davido, and he stated that he created the pattern for them.
He went on to put Nigerian Grammy award-winning star Burna Boy and his fast-rising rapper Black Sherif on the same spot. He pointed out that they were the ones currently booming the scenes.
In the song, Sarkodie also stated that his main competitors are American rappers Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, noting that he isn’t on the same level as African rappers.
A line from his song reads:
“Wizkid came, I was already doing it, Davido started, I was improving it, then Odogwu came through Black Sherif & Asake”
