The rapper, who collaborated with O’Kenneth, City Boy, Reggie, and Jay Bahd on the track that propelled him into the limelight, clarified that his remarks were not aimed at his fellow Asakaa artistes.

“Not the guys who were on ‘Sore’ with me specifically, but everybody that came around me at the time. It’s something that I would say I’ve regretted. I don’t even get a call from them anymore,” he added.

Yaw Tog concluded by saying that although the experience was painful, he has come to accept it as part of the realities of the entertainment industry.
