Ghanaian rapper and entrepreneur D-Black has revealed that the late musician Castro originally recorded his hit song ‘Me Nam Na Me Tete’ out of frustration after being snubbed at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs).

In an interview with Blac Volta, D-Black explained that Castro was disappointed over an award he expected to win but didn’t, prompting him to channel his disappointment into the track.

“‘Me Nam Na Me Tete’ was initially a diss song to Charterhouse. Because the past VGMAs, there was an award that he thought he was going to win, and he didn’t win,” D-Black said.

He added that the song’s lyrics were Castro’s way of responding to the public buzz around his loss.

D-Black also recalled being invited to add a verse that matched the original tone of the track, but he declined, noting he had no issue with the award organisers.

“So he freestyled it, a little diss to Charterhouse and then he told me to freestyle on the song too, but I told him I can’t do that because they didn’t do nothing to me,” he explained.

According to him, Castro later removed the diss portion and released the song commercially.

“He came the next day and said that’s his next single. Then he took out the diss to Charterhouse,” D-Black recounted.

The song went on to become one of Castro’s popular hits before his disappearance in 2014.
