Sarkodie – Free Press

With his newest single released last week titled Free Press, Sarkodie seems to have gone the full distance in throwing insults at the media in Ghana. He takes the media to the cleaners in a way that perhaps no Ghanaian artist has ever done, not even Shatta Wale, DKB or Bull Dog.
In his song, Free Press, Sarkodie demonstrates his own “freedom of the press” to launch a multi-pronged scathing attack on the Ghanaian media whom he accuses of being mediocre and not doing enough to support artistes. He also laments how the media tends to focus solely on the negative side of artistes’ careers instead of promoting their positives. He raps on the song that the media has developed a pull-him-down attitude, and asks them to emulate the late Komla Dumor, whom he praised for using his (Komla Dumor) influence at the BBC to get him on a show on that television network.
