Veteran Reggae musician Rocky Dawuni, has condemned beefs between artists and also the release of diss songs.
According to the Grammy Awards nominee, the two acts are not needed and a waste of time.
Rocky Dawuni made these comments while addressing the current beef between Sista Afia and Freda Rhymz that almost turned bloody at TV3’s premises.
“It is a waste of time, let’s allow our creative works to portray positivity about Ghana to the world. We don’t need to create a wrong impression among the youth that in music you need to fight and be against each other in order to get attention, it’s a wrong move”
“Some people beef just to get attention and create hype in the press but let’s focus and sound positive in our songs. It’s more to do with selfishness and the desire to usurp someone in order to always be ahead”, he said on Radio Central.
Rocky Dawuni said it is fine for artists to create such beefs for fun after they have both agreed but it wrong when it breeds hatred.
“If it is arranged as a play for fun that both artistes agree behind the scenes that we are going to beef each other for competitiveness, then I don’t have any issues with it”
“But when it becomes serious such that it turns to be full of insults and physical assault then obviously we would be badly influencing children who see these artistes as role models”
Rocky Dawuni wants Ghanaian artists to focus on positive things rather than beefs and diss songs.
