One of the well doing social media influencer, Prince Barak has shared his view on the current beef going on between Gonga, Maccasio & Fancy Gadam in the Northern Music Industry.
Below is an article of the young man’s opinion,
“Few years ago when the self acclaimed music head master of Dagbon was preparing to return home from abroad to continue his music career, he and his then Record Label, FPE and some closed friends lunched an investigation into northern music industry.
No need to tell you the purpose of their investigations, its so clear. Maccasio and Fancy Gadam was identified as the most reigning artists, as if that was not enough they also discovered a growing debate between music lovers; Fancy and Macca who has more following? [Not who is talented or released hit songs.]
So they talk to themselves, if the debate between these guys is about following and not talent, and Maccasio is also a rapper and not a singer like Gadam, we could join the “beef” to change the narrative from following to talent and singer to singer.
So they quickly contacted Maccasio for a collaboration even though Lil K was still outside or hidden somewhere in Accra. In Maccasio thinking the collaboration could send him to places he never been to because the Lil K team had told him their supposed collaborations with big stars in the Ghana music scene.
If you can remember Dj Parara interview with Maccasio, Ataaka and Maccasio in late 2015. The 69 boss go hard on Fancy Gadam and even reveals that Lil K was coming home to bench all the *fake* singers. He was referring to the collaboration they are planning and the lies Lil K team told him.
Luckily, Lil K got home, the joint between the two was released, a classical banger for that matter but the outro of the song kill the vibe. The song become hit but brought hatred to Lil K because many fans was not expecting such words from him.
All along, the plan was to shift the debate from Gadam – Macca, fan base vs fan base, Rapper – Singer to Gonga – Gadam, talent vs talent and singer – singer.
Maccasio was smart, he didn’t relax like many artists when the spotlight begin to show, he worked hard, released several controversial and exciting songs whiles the Headmaster was on radio telling fans the UK stories and his supposed collaborations with Sarkodie, Shatta Wale and all the big stars you can think of in Africa.
Gradually, Maccasio realized Gonga was somehow threat to his career should the debate change from talent vs talent or singer to singer so he started distancing himself from the Headmaster, at some point Headmaster requested for a second collaboration but 69 team denied him. So he became angry and felt betrayed.”
