DJ Slash has labelled Sarkodie's recent track as a political campaign song. 

Sarkodie's 'Happy Days' track, that he released with Kuami Eugene, has drawn much controversy because of the lyrics.

The track, which was meant to be a stand-alone single track for the Afrobeats genre has seen much political traction because of its affiliation with the NPP. 

In the single, Sarkodie embedded his words of support for Akufo-Addo in the track, alongside Vodafone Ghana Music Award's Artist of the Year, Kuami Eugene.

'The Highest' said that Akufo-Addo has implemented a number of good policies that are benefitting all Ghanaians, he should be strongly considered for a second term in office.

“We all spoke against the dumsor (erratic power supply) and the high inflation rate and so if these have been solved at the moment with Ghanaians also enjoying free SHS, then all I can say is that Nana Akufo-Addo should continue for another four years.”

DJ Slash, the host of Rainbow Entertainment, expressed his reservations on his show.

He made his remarks after his guest, Yaw Dan had suggested the song was not a political song but rather a praise one.

Yaw Dan, a Music Curator at Boomplay said there was no political endorsement in the song as suggested and the name Nana in the song was not President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo.

"I don’t like the fact that people are associating politics with the song. When that happens, it does not allow the media to give the song enough support," he said.

But, the host of the show, DJ Slash vehemently disagreed with his analysis.

"Yaw Dan you are not being real. Stop the hypocrisy, the song is a political song. It is an endorsement song. Don’t try and be the devil’s advocate. If you ask me, there is no problem with Sarkodie saying "Nana Toaso"."

"I don’t know what he has benefited from the song more based on what he is saying "Nana Toaso" but the song is an endorsement. I think it is an endorsement. Maybe, it is not official that he has sold the song to the NPP,” he concluded.
