Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has syptated that he released his diss track, Sub Zero, despite the presence of the pandemic because the coronavirus should not stop entertainment.
He stressed that the death rate might even go up without entertainment.
Many claimed that the time was not right to drop a diss track and the award winning rapper replied, stating that activities in the creative space cannot come to a halt just because there is a pandemic ravaging through the world.
He did not direct his reply to anyone, but the basis of his answer was aimed at dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, who stated that he was very disappointed in Sarkodie for releasing a diss song at a time that the world is currently battling the deadly Coronavirus (COVID-19).
Shatta Wale said "Sarkodie is talking about beef and the industry is happy. I’m disappointed, I thought you were going to tell me he’s donated some few things to some needy people but if Sarkodie has really thrown a shot at me in this time of our life where people are dying when people need help…,”

Sarkodie has stated however that there was nothing wrong with the timing of the release.
"It’s about how you want to see it because how I see it is different…This is music and in this COVID-19 everybody has to do their work. We can advocate for the information that people have to hear which is very necessary…but as entertainers, we still don’t have to stop working… so as Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, whoever that is doing music it doesn’t stop because this is the time that they actually need it,” he said.
“I hate it when people see our job as fun or hobby. This is a serious job, I’m an artiste and these times we need these things… Shatta Wale did a live concert which was beautiful because that takes your mind of what is happening…we are artistes as much as we want to also panic, we have a job to entertain,” the rapper further explained.
