Kojo Cue, a popular figure in Ghanaโs rap scene, has said the title of the nationโs greatest belongs not to him but to Sarkodie.
Speaking in an interview on Kumasi-based Angel FM with MC Portfolio, Kojo Cue stressed that when it comes to overall influence, consistency, and measurable success, Sarkodieโs dominance cannot be contested.
โSarkodie is the greatest rapper of all time. It is metrics, itโs undeniable. You can check everywhere. Based on consistent hits, based on how huge his fanbase is,โ he said.
According to him, Sarkodieโs nationwide following, his unmatched catalogue of hits, and his record-setting number of awards leave no room for debate.
Kojo Cue acknowledged that Lord Kenya, had he remained in the industry, might have posed a challenge in terms of fan power and legacy. But Kenyaโs early departure, he said, left Sarkodie in a class of his own.
โThe only person I can think of who comes close to Sark in terms of fanbase is Lord Kenya, but because Lord Kenya stopped at a point, I donโt think he can go a hundred songs back-to-back with Sark. The most nominated, has won the most awards. Whether you like it or not, you cannot argue it,โ he explained.
While he recognizes the thrill fans get from debates over who is the โbest rapper,โ Kojo Cue said that at this stage in his career, his focus is no longer on that contest.
Instead, he wants to be remembered for his craft as a songwriter, a role he believes is just as important to Ghanaโs music history as rapping.
