Obrafour is not one of the controversial hip life artistes but slowly he is aiming at that title. If you think the Okyeame Kwame Obrafour saga has died a natural death then you will be laughing at the wrong side of your mouth. The latter has rekindled the whole saga and beating the war drums again, after performing with a dummy on which was boldly written �OK�; he has now released a controversial video. I love creative people and I have not hesitated to say that Obrafour latest single �Kaseibo�, which features Guru, is a pure classic, it�s a master piece and portrays creativity at its peak. However, the controversy it has created does not emerge out of this creativity but as a result of the lyrics which were direct attacks on certain personalities in the Ghana music industry. It�s an undoubted fact that the lyrics in that song are directed to Okyeame Kwame and Obour. Earlier on, the �Rap Sofour� disclosed on a Kumasi-based radio station, �I do not see my latest single as a �dissing� song, not at all, for me, this is not a �diss� song, I�m only expressing my opinion, I don�t have a grudge with Kwame as people may think,�. He further said �People should appreciate the creativity in the song; they should not read too much meaning into the song. As I said, I don�t have any problem with my brother Okyeame Kwame,� �Okyeame Kwame is prone to attacks by referring to himself as the best rapper alive. If Obrafour has a problem with that title, who gave him (Obrafour), the �Ghana Rap Sofour� title? Asked a music fan. The Celebrity journalist Ameyaw Debrah once asked Obrafiour �You have no problem with someone like Okyeame Kwame saying he�s the best rapper live, right?� In his reply, Obrafour re-echoed his earlier submissions, acknowledging the originator of hip life Reggie Rockstone and �Rap Heavyweight� Lord Kenya, the guys he had little exchanges with, �Well, he can be the best rapper, the alive is where I have a problem, because am good, am not dead, Reggie is not dead, Lord Kenya is not dead�. The whole hubbub about them was said to have died a natural death but the executioner recently told Myjoyonline after the Joy FM Nite with the Stars that, he is ready to teach Okyeame Kwame what �diss� song is provided he (Okyeame) goes back to the studio to record a diss song against him, �Controversy sells and for me if Okyeame Kwame says he has a beef, I put it straight to Kwame that he should be a man and reply. I will come back and show him what a beef or a �diss� song is should he reply,� Obrafour added. All efforts to get the �Best Rap Alive� on the line to comment proved futile but we managed to get one Yaa Agyeiwaa, the Marketing Director of 1 MIC Entertainment, she told http://www.ghanacelebrities.com that, Okyeame Kwame wouldn�t want to comment on anything concerning what Obrafour had said and that they don�t have any reply for Obrafour. However, she indicated that they are willing to talk about something else, something of much importance and not less important stuff, �We don�t have time for trivial things�, she ended.
