Judging these two by their lyrical prowess, one can easily tell what Sarkodie and M.anifest are capable of when they hit the studio.
Factually speaking, these rappers are two masters ruling different territories but the question here is, can we ever get a Sarkodie and M.anifest collaboration?
Sources claim these two rappers haven’t been on good terms. Fans of Sarkodie and M.anifest have always been comparing them and the most shocking part of this is, Sarkodie and M.anifest have recorded with almost every top musician in Ghana apart from each other. They have even both featured on a song before, which is The Chosen by E.L.
By record speaking, The Chosen appears to be the only song with Sark and the M d) d) ti d) man.
In 2014, we saw the friendship between Sarkodie and M.anifest when they both hit the studio to record a song and till date, we are still anticipating for that collaboration. With what i heard, they both have a song featuring each other; Sarkodie Ft M.anifest and M.anifest ft Sarkodie but none of them will make it available to the public.
Later that same year, M.anifest recorded a Coptic sound produced project titled Keep Shinning and on that song, he made certain revelations that most of us believe he was referring to Sarkodie. Like Sarkodie saying he is putting GH on the map. M.anifest replied by saying,
Massa, you putting Gh on the map? How? When you create Gh crap B.E.T gives awards to Africans off air not a diss, just a stone cold fact i swear.
Sarkodie in less than a month after Keep Shinning released a song titled Revenge Of The Spartans and In reply to M.anifest's B.E.T allegation, Sarkodie said,
The realest to do this, I’m taking you back. Giving you lines and giving you tracks. Meyɛ mo deɛ whites no bɛyɛ blacks. Mo mbra me fie na mo nbɛ checke me plaques. I’m killing the niggas as soon as I flow. M’agye award no twice in a row. The reason I never dey yorb be sake of I no get time to break it down for you to know.. shit!
As if that wasnt enough, Sarkodie on 21st June 2016 released his Bossy single. While we were thinking Bossy was directed to the current Artiste of the year, E.L, M.anifest few days after Bossy recorded godMC directing some of the messages in the song to Sarkodie..
You dont need to be a psychic to know how angry Sarkodie was when he heard about godMC. In relation to that, Sarkodie recorded his version of PANDA and titled it Kanta. In Kanta its obvious Sark and M.anifest are not smiling to each other.
Look at this....
Sarkodie On Bossy - M.anifest meserε wo lemme just use your "dor dor dor ti dor" to end this verse
Manifest On godMC - Go to the market, buy yourself some manners. Don't use ma name in vain. That's just for startersSarkodie On Bossy - Mehn I'm feeling bossy
M.anifest On godMC - When the boss is around who can you boss around?Sarkodie On Bossy - I'm a king but I don't feel I gotta wear crown
M.anifest On godMC - What's a king to a god emcee?
Sarkodie On Bossy - Omo se Sarkodie ndropi punches. I can do it really but the point is, wo rapi na wo punchi pii aa Joe you sound immature.
M.anifest On godMC - We some intelligent niggas that cannot dumb it down. Even my nonfa back then had sense in it
Sarkodie On Bossy - That jolome u wear show say u fool..
M.anifest On godMC - Tell the fashion police to make an arrest, these boys copying the west looking like a mess.
Now back to Sarkodie's latest release, Kanta....
M.anifest On godMC - Tell the fashion police to make an arrest, these boys copying the west looking like a mess.
Sarkodie On Kanta - Obi b3 dissi mi aa na 3ny3 rapper aa odi GTP pam Kaba
Manifest On godMC - Go to the market, buy yourself some manners. Don't use ma name in vain. That's just for starters
Sarkodie On Kanta - Obidi mi bo wu din aa kyer3 s3 wu b3 ko Heaven. At least i gave you some mileage, just make sure you use it. Ma biggi wo up for the summer all i need back is a Thank You.
M.anifest On godMC - We some intelligent niggas that cannot dumb it down. Even my nonfa back then had sense in it
Sarkodie On Kanta - Ei akoa wei ni brofo akese3 fa ko ko lecture wo Legon. Oh, punch dieer opunchi 3no 3nto asaase 3gye kiosk wo Klagon.
With this being said, are we ever going to get a Sarkodie-M.anifest collaboration? Or perhaps, this beef we think is going on between them is not real.
Are they going to record a joint album for us at the right time? We as music lovers will accept whatever project they bring to us. But, it shouldn't be a beef, we are tired of chewing this meat in the industry.
