Veteran reggae artist, Rocky Dawuni has advised the current crop of musicians in Ghana's industry to stop their various petty beef as it won't win Ghana any Grammy Award.

The Grammy Awards nominee admonished artistes to make songs that have a positive impact on society instead of wasting their time singing about unnecessary disputes.

He made his opinion known while addressing the current beef between female rappers in the industry, especially the recent incident between Sista Afia and Freda Rhymz at TV3's premises.

 

 

Speaking in an interview with Amansan Krakye on Radio Central, Rocky expressed that, “It is a waste of time, let’s allow our creative works to portray positivity about Ghana to the world. We do not need to create a wrong impression among the youth that in music you need to fight and be against each other in order to get attention, it’s a wrong move.

"Some people beef just to get attention and create hype in the press but let’s focus and sound positive in our songs. It’s more to do with selfishness and the desire to usurp someone in order to always be ahead."

“If it is arranged as a play for fun that both artistes agree behind the scenes that we are going to beef each other for competitiveness, then I don’t have any issues with it."

“But when it becomes serious such that it turns to be full of insults and physical assault then obviously we would be badly influencing children who see these artistes as role models. 

“It works for some people to get attention but I think it is high time we put these things behind us and the media should not be buying into those stuff and focus on things that are positive”. He concluded.
