“What Sarkodie did was nothing but a desecration of the legacy of Bob Marley. It is so shameful, what Sarkodie did is nothing but a desecration of the holy music…should I go deeper?

Let’s be happy for our people, you saying this, what does it do to it? Are they gonna go back to production and make the music what you want?…what level has he gotten to criticize the song?” she quizzed.
