Sarkodie has been a hot topic among international artistes on the African continent close to a decade.
Just moments after reports of releasing a diss track targeted to silence the self-acclaimed dancehall king of Africa; Shatta Wale which received several affirmative tweets by numerous colleagues in the Ghanaian music industry and prospective fans around the world, the highest awarded rapper on the African continent uploaded the album cover artwork of the eminent Gabonese music group BGMFK, endorsing their “2417” album released under Universal Music Africa.
The Ghanaian rapper made the endorsement to his over 1.46Million followers on Facebook, also encouraging them to listen to “Ton Coeur”; a song he was featured on which he effortlessly dropped some French verses that makes one have an afterthought of researching if “The Highest” was once a native french speaker. The caption to the uploaded album cover artwork of BGMFK by Sarkodie read, “Shout out to Gabonese fam @BGMFK Officiel for this dope project.===>https://apple.co/2AgNVjk Y’all don’t forget to check out track #10 #BGMFK FT. #SARKODIE #TonCoeur”.
