Ghanaian music veteran TiC TAC has joined fellow artiste Ras Kuuku in a stern rebuke of rapper Sarkodie following a controversial social media post that has sparked significant debate within the entertainment industry. The backlash centers on a video shared by Sarkodie featuring an individual with a disability using crutches, a move that critics have interpreted as a derogatory gesture. The incident unfolded in the wake of Stonebwoy’s high-profile performance at the OVO Arena Wembley, leading many to believe the post was a calculated jab at the dancehall star.
The controversy intensified when Ras Kuuku publicly urged the Ghanaian music industry to break its silence and speak out against Sarkodie's actions. Ras Kuuku’s criticism focuses on the insensitivity of using a person’s physical challenges as a means of mockery, especially within the context of the long-standing rivalry between Sarkodie and Stonebwoy. The call for accountability has resonated with several industry players who argue that such content undermines the progress made toward inclusivity and respect for persons with disabilities in Ghana.
Adding his voice to the chorus of disapproval, TiC TAC emphasized that it is fundamentally wrong to mock anyone over a disability. By backing Ras Kuuku, the veteran musician highlighted the need for public figures to maintain a level of decorum and empathy in their digital interactions. TiC TAC’s intervention underscores a growing sentiment that even in the heat of professional competition, certain lines—particularly those involving physical health and personal dignity—should not be crossed.
This development highlights the ongoing tensions within the Ghanaian music scene and raises broader questions about the social responsibility of influential artists. While the rivalry between Sarkodie and Stonebwoy has often fueled fan engagement and musical output, this latest exchange has shifted the focus toward ethics and the impact of social media behavior. As the conversation continues, it serves as a reminder of the power these figures wield and the potential for their online presence to either foster respect or perpetuate harmful stereotypes.
