“I’ve not really featured a lot of rappers because a lot of rappers kind of shy away from featuring their co rappers especially me being a girl,” she stated.
She mentioned the situation is not the same with singers but only rappers. According to Eno, two singers are never put against each other and have their verses or vocals marked by people but once its rap music, the comparison culture surfaces.
In explaining herself she asserted:
“Most at times there is a comparison when it comes to rap but two singers can easily feature themselves on a song without being compared.
“Nobody cares they just jam to it but then when two rappers are on a project people tend to just compare the lyrics and stuff,” she continued on Cape Coast-based Kastle FM.

However, some rappers are so confident in their lyrical skills that they've bragged about being a better rapper than others in the game even if fans of other rappers bet to differ.
