Mzbel and Tracey Boakye put up quite a show when the two NDC staunch supporters clashed on social media and swam in the mud and dented their brands over someone's husband called ‘Papa No’. “If someone’s husband sleeps with you and gives you property, you are supposed to suush (keep quiet) and continue lying to the youth that it is hard work,” Mzbel said in an Instagram post when Tracey Boakye revealed in a live video that her properties were sponsored by ‘Papa No’.

A beef that nearly ended in 2019 was carried over to 2020 when Sarkodie, in March this year, responded to Shatta Wale’s constant social media attacks and diss song “Little Tip”. In an Instagram post, Sarkodie said he won’t save Shatta Wale's career. He wrote: “The media on the phone trying to get me to respond to beefs ... Naa man I done saved a lot of careers. 2020 you pay for response.” Sarkodie later released a diss song for all rappers, titled “Zub Zero”. The song sparked heated argument and also attracted a response from Shatta Wale who said the song is needless because Ghana was fighting COVID-19 at the time. Sarkodie responded by calling him a fool. But things didn’t go far. They patched their broken friendship when Sarkodie featured him on his “Black Love” virtual concert.

They used to be tight buddies and frequent collaborators but their long friendship came crashing down because of “Black Love” virtual concert. It all started during the ore-recording of the concert where Stonebwoy’s session was delayed by Sarkodie’s manager, Angel Town, who prioritised Shatta Wale’s session instead. A brawl broke between Stonebwoy and Angel, and the latter was assaulted in the process. Sarkodie filed a police report and that was how their years of friendship ended this year.

Loudmouth Aisha Modi’s incessant beef with industry people didn’t end with Sarkodie. She moved to another level when she claimed she invested in hiplife legend Obrafour’s career and received ungratefulness in return.

And when Obrafour sent his lawyers to ask her to retract and apologise for lying, she burst in anger and insulted Obrafour in separate Instagram live videos. She has been dragged to court by Obrafour.
