Mark Okraku Mantey about beefs and impact on society

“We are gradually directing our country, in the wrong direction”

His warning follows the buzz on Sarkodie’s diss track.

Meanwhile, some industry persons note that beefs are very good for business and the growth of the industry. However, Mantey urges caution.

“Now they are saying that because of commerce, these people are going to make money and so let’s encourage people, to attack each other using music.”

“If you watch ‘Nsromma’ on Adom TV most of the kids are singing songs that if you ask them to explain, they don’t understand it” 

“Let’s be careful and mindful of how we are saying that ‘because it’s bringing money”

“Very soon I can also write a song dissing the president of the country; is that where we want to go as a people, is that where we want to gradually mold our culture into?”
