His comments came on the back of assertions that he has issues with Sarkodie, a reason he mentioned at the event that Omar Sterling is a good rapper.

The Koko hit-maker explained that he made those comments because he thought Omar Sterling did well with Hip-pop the year under review.

He added that it was not to take anything away from Sarkodie because he knows the prowess of the Hand to Mouth hit-maker.
