Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie recently made headlines when he opened up about the circumstances surrounding the release of his latest song “Try Me,” in which he responded to the allegations made by actress Yvonne Nelson in her memoir, “I AM NOT YVONNE NELSON.” The track, produced by MOG Beatz, added another layer of depth to the ongoing conversation about their past relationship.
In a candid interview with Angela Yee on the Way Up Show in the U.S., Sarkodie revealed that the Diss Track was initially recorded as a personal response to Yvonne Nelson’s memoir. The rapper explained that he intended to keep it private for some time, giving himself an opportunity to carefully consider whether or not to release it to the public.
“I did it just to hold on to it and see if I’m going to release it, but when it came out, I said let me just put it out,” Sarkodie shared.
However, fate had a different plan. While on tour at the time, Sarkodie was taken aback when he discovered that the track had leaked on Twitter, causing an unexpected frenzy among fans and social media users.
“Where I was, it was very late, like 2:00 am, and then I see Twitter going crazy. I had no idea because I didn’t give it to…” Sarkodie explained, “So I have like 2, 3 people that I don’t want to suspect because it’s going to create some energy.”
The leak put Sarkodie in a difficult position, as he had not planned to release the track publicly at that moment. However, upon realizing that “Try Me” was already out in the public domain, he made a quick decision to officially release the song.
Through “Try Me,” Sarkodie addresses the allegations made by Yvonne Nelson in her memoir, offering his side of the story and setting the record straight. The song provided him with a platform to share his perspective on their past relationship, which had been a topic of interest among their fans and the media.
While the unexpected release of “Try Me” might have caught the rapper off-guard, it allowed him to express himself freely and engage in an open conversation with his audience about the issues raised in Yvonne Nelson’s book. The track not only showcased Sarkodie’s lyrical prowess but also demonstrated his ability to handle unexpected situations with grace and creativity.
