Socrate Safo has descended on Sarkodie after his comment about Ghanaian radio presenters.

The popular rapper said in a recent interview that radio presenters who have not moved to Choice or BBC do not have the moral right to talk about artistes not going international after practising for 20 years.

“It is easy for somebody to sit on radio and tell you Shatta Wale no do this. You, you dey radio top for Ghana for close to 20 years wey you no fit come enter Choice for here or BBC. I don’t think you have the moral right to talk about artiste wey e dey Ghana wey e no move. Because me I go BBC because it is Komla Dumor wey e make I go,” Sarkodie said.

His statement has given birth to a lot of reactions.

Filmmaker, Socrate Safo thinks Sarkodie has to repackage himself about how he conducts interviews.

“At this point, I think he lacks one thing. One of the key things I taught artistes I groomed was interview skills. I read from a book that as an artiste, your interview skills are paramount because it can bring you down and it can also lift you high,” Socrate stated.

He added: “Every artiste should have a pack of answers for a pack of questions. We don’t graduate in radio as though you were in Division One and moved to Division Two. Getting to BBC or CNN as a Ghanaian radio presenter is not graduation but a movement from one sector to the other. It’s not a law; neither is it part of the system to reference in your submission that the person hasn’t improved.”

“When we say ‘go international’, it’s an expansion of market. It doesn’t mean if you’re in Ghana and hasn’t gone international you’re not good. Going international has many dynamics…You sat on local platforms to push your brand; out of this, you got certain links.”
