The rapper has however advised his fellow musicians to control their emotions regardless of the provocation.
He added that emotions can be difficult to rein in, acting on reflexes can lead one into making wrong decisions or choices.
With an industry dominated by men , egos will always be up but again as men we need to control our emotions ( very hard to do ) but it’s a must. Our reflexes might lead us to make wrong choices and we definitely have to work on em.

We can disagree with each other and we don’t have to be friends but we can’t let that take away from the fact that we know how DOPE we are 😊 ... We all play a part in pushing our country Ghana
