Rising Ghanaian rapper Awal Mohammed has candidly revealed that he feels sidelined within the music industry, attributing his struggles to a widely held perception that he has issues with Sarkodie.

He explained that this belief has created barriers, making it difficult for him to secure collaborations or gain support from influential players in the industry.
Awal, who first gained national recognition through talent competitions and was once mentored by Sarkodie, said personal relationships in the industry have changed since his rise.
He mentioned rapper Kofi Mole as one such example, noting that while they were once close, things are now different.
Awal shared:
