Patapaa Says Sarkodie Offended Him First
According to GhanaWeb, Patapaa told Nana Romeo that he is not the one who started the misunderstanding and therefore sees no reason to apologise.
The musician said he is tired of being asked the same question whenever he appears on radio or television. In his view, interviewers keep pressing him to say sorry to Sarkodie, but his position has not changed.
Peace FM Online, which also shared the interview, carried his words in the headline: “No one can tell me to apologize to Sarkodie, I won’t.”
“Sarkodie Did Not Build the Industry”
Patapaa also questioned the level of influence Sarkodie is believed to have in Ghana’s music space. He argued that the rapper does not have the power to decide which artistes get airplay and did not single-handedly build the Ghanaian music industry, GhanaWeb reported.
He went further to allege that some media houses sideline his songs because Sarkodie is able to call presenters and ask them not to play his music. He did not provide evidence for the claim, and Sarkodie has not publicly responded to it.
Credits God for “One Corner” Success
Reflecting on his biggest hit, Patapaa said the success of “One Corner” came from God, not from Sarkodie or anyone else. According to him, the song had already gone global before the rise of TikTok.
“One Corner,” released in 2017, remains one of the most recognisable Ghanaian dance songs of the last decade and turned Patapaa into a household name.
Prophet’s Advice Fails to Move Patapaa
During the interview, Nana Romeo raised a claim by a prophet who had reportedly linked the slowdown in Patapaa’s career to the way he has treated Sarkodie. The prophet was said to have suggested that an apology could help revive his career.
Patapaa laughed off the suggestion and maintained his stance, GhanaWeb reported. Nana Romeo, who has interviewed several big names on his Okay FM show, has been in the news himself recently, including his response to Prophet Nigel Gaisie over a rent claim.
How the Patapaa and Sarkodie Feud Started
The tension between the two musicians dates back to 2018. According to GhanaWeb, Sarkodie made a remark that year suggesting that artistes like Patapaa would have ended up performing at his funeral if they had not found success.
At the time, Patapaa did not appear offended. He said he was fine with being mentioned, described it as good publicity for his career and even joined Sarkodie’s #BiibibaChallenge later that year.
Over time, however, his tone changed. Patapaa later said he had grown bitter, accusing Sarkodie of disrespecting him and repeatedly using his name in a negative way.
Wendy Shay’s “This and That” Reopens Old Wounds
The feud flared up again in 2026 after Sarkodie featured on Wendy Shay’s song “This and That”, where his verse referenced Patapaa once more. Patapaa reacted strongly at the time, and his latest comments show the matter is far from settled.
This is not the first time Patapaa has publicly refused to make peace. In 2025, he told the media that Sarkodie “is not God” and that he would never beg him for forgiveness, as reported by Pulse Ghana.
Sarkodie Yet to Respond
Sarkodie has not commented on Patapaa’s latest remarks. The rapper has largely avoided public back-and-forth with Patapaa, choosing instead to focus on his music and events, including his recent Rapperholic 2026 concert in Kumasi.
For now, Patapaa appears determined to stand his ground, and fans will be watching to see whether Sarkodie responds or lets the matter pass, as he has done in the past.
