Sarkodie Didn't Pay Ace Hood
I'm sure by now you're one of those who is still
disappointed in Sarkodie for lying that American pop star
Ace Hood contacted him for a feature. Fest Blog can
confirmed that Sarkodie didn't pay a dime to feature
Acehood on his new song.
News broke few days ago about the collaboration between
these two rap titans on a new track titled "new guy"
after the duo shared pictures on their respective social
media pages. Sarkodie later revealed that it was
Acehood who contacted him for the collaboration and
added that such things never happen to African artists.
Acehood hearing about such rumors also took to twitter
to react to the claims, saying the feature wouldn't have
been possible if it wasn't for the $25K in his account.
Indeed Sarkodie wasn't lying when he said he didn't
pay Ace, and Acehood wasn't lying either when he
said he was paid $25K for the collaboration. So how
did the feature happen? According to our trusted sources
who reveal to festusanim.blogspot.com exclusively, there was a
third-party who made the feature possible. The source
tells festusanim.blogspot.com that the middleman between Ace
and Sarkodie was Tigo Ghana. Here is the rundown,
Tigo contacted Sarkodie as part of their marketing
strategies to expand their music streaming site Deezer.
Sarkodie was giving a choice to choose an American artist
to feature on a track and the name that popped up was
Acehood. Managers then contacted Acehood and after
finalizing everything, Acehood called Sarkodie to work
on the track. Yes! Acehood called Sarkodie first.
Remember how Sarkodie said he just recently found out
about Tigo Deezer and even recorded a short video to
endorse it to his fans and other musicians, it was all part
of the agreement —and in case you didn't know, the
track "new guy" will be released exclusively on Tigo
Deezer, which means you'll have to own a Tigo
SIM card and also pay to subscribe to the service to
enjoy the song exclusively. Sarkodie also promised to
patronize the streaming site more and that's the beginning
and the end to this whole drama. The agreement means
more exposure for Tigo and more fan base reach for
Sarkodie as well. Nice business strategy. So there you
have it, Sarkodie was never a liar…and remember where
you read this gist first
