In a shocking twist that has sparked fresh fire in the Northern music scene, rapper Maccasio has thrown a hard jab at his long-time rival Ataaka, who has been off the radar for years after his last major concert at the Aliu Mahama Stadium.
A curious fan recently asked on social media about the whereabouts of Ataaka — the once-feared lyrical beast known for his street energy and fearless bars. But before any loyalist could respond, it was Maccasio himself who slid into the comment section with a mocking tone that left fans in stitches and others furious. “He’s now a Defender,” the “King of the North” sarcastically replied — a brutal wordplay on Ataaka’s own name, which in Dagbani loosely relates to defending.
The comment, though short, has since gone viral — with many interpreting it as Maccasio’s way of saying Ataaka is now off the music pitch and only fit for defence, not attack. Some fans saw it as playful shade, others see it as a subtle reminder that the rap game has moved on, and Ataaka is no longer in the frontline.
