Celebrated Ghanaian rapper, Michael Owusu Addo, known in the music space as Sarkodie, has fortified his position surrounding the cryptic statement, “Nana Toaso.”

The iconic rapper set the country abuzz alongside fellow industry luminary Kuami Eugene with the release of their collaborative track, "Happy Day."

However, the chart-topping song quickly became a lightning rod for controversy, drawing heavy backlash directed at Sarkodie for a particular line in the lyrics.’

Defending his position in a recent interview, Sarkodie pointed to himself as a direct beneficiary of free education, clarifying the intent behind a contentious line in his recent song.

“What I said and I said he should ‘Toaso,’ I still stand by it. Because I think I directly benefited from free education and I have the right to say I endorse that.

“My mum has these girls we've been supporting. She [mum] usually calls to request for money [for their upkeep including school fees. I'm not saying it's much; but the mere fact that I no longer hear that [mum asking for money for the kids] is good,” he noted.
