Prior to the 2018 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, SarkCess Music signed artiste, Strongman made a comment on Twitter.

The young rapper sent out a tweet questioning the influence of Sarkodie in his ability to garner more recognition.

Strongman was utterly disappointed that Sarkodie couldn’t use his influence to make him secure lots of nominations prior to the 19th edition of the VGMAs. Strongman, who only got one nomination consequently took to social media to register his unhappiness.
He tweeted:

So everyday the #sarkeffect #sarkeffect you guys dey talk no, only one nomination for a whole transformer. This is very bad.

This however didn’t go down well with some of his fans as well as those of Sarkodie. Most of them asked him to delete the post but the rapper stood by his comments. Adding that he had waited for years just to make a mark and here is what he got.

However, the ‘Transformer’ crooner has told MzGee at the just ended awards that, his tweet was totally misinterpreted.

According to him he “wasn’t necessarily saying that his management is not doing enough.”

He further clarified that, “I’m directing the arrow towards some people. When I do well, they attribute everything to Sark effect, but the moment something is wrong, they say the artiste is bad.”

Since the announcement and unveiling of the nominees for the 19th edition of the VGMAs, tempers have been rising.Whilst some artistes are celebrating, a few on the other hand have been registering their disappointment.

We however seem used to it when the temper is rising at the VGMA board because, it has been the norm for years now.

However, the drive has taking a new turn as it’s not towards the VGMA board but to an artiste’s own record label.

And to think that it’s no other label but the SarkCess Music Label owned by multiple awards-winning act, Sarkodie.

Sarkcess Music’s Strongman has registered his disappointed at his record label. Strongman, from all indications expected more from his label. This is because, he couldn’t help but to attack the label on his tweeter handle  shortly after the announcement of all the nominees.

Ghaflagh.com has come across such tweet by the ‘Odasani’ singer and one could feel his fury from his tweets below;

“So everyday the #sarkeffect #sarkeffect u guys dey talk no only one nomination for the whole TRANSFORMER. This is very bad.”

Not even a piece of advise from a fan could calm the peeved nerves of the Sarkcess Music act.

The tweet from the fan who goes by the name Evans Konadu reads;

“you shouldn’t have tweeted this man. When your time comes you would understand. No one can stop your talent not even Awards”

Strongman fumed back with the reply;

“When will that time come… 8yrs now”
