Be a real man. Kaakie tells EL
Though Ghanaian Dancehall diva, Kaakie denies her two new singles, Sankwas and Time Up are diss songs, she has issued a warning to rapper EL, the 2016 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Artiste of the Year, to stay away from the fracas currently going on among the female Dancehall artistes.

According to Kaakie, she finds it rather girlish for E L to have featured on Make I Shine, a song by MzVee believed to be a response to her Sankwas song which many believe is a diss song directed at MzVee.
And to show how much she disapproves of EL meddling in what she describes as a girls’ affair, Kaakie released another song, Time Up last week hitting hard at both MzVee and EL.
According to Kaakie who is also a nurse by profession, she never mentioned anyone in Sankwas though it is perceived to cast insinuations at MzVee and that is why she is upset EL featured on Make I Shine, a song which she believes is directed at her.
“EL is the last person I expected to join this war. He should have faced Sarkodie when he released a diss song at him. He should be grateful to M.anifest for replying Sarkodie on his behalf.
“He couldn’t fight his own battle like a man but quickly joined MzVee to take digs at me on Make I Shine. Real men don’t do that,” Kaakie told Showbiz in an interview on Monday.
Explaining how the whole fracas started, Kaakie said about three weeks ago, she released Sankwas which admonishes people who want to bring her down and though she did not mention anyone’s name, many people thought she was referring to MzVee.
Asked why she is attacking EL especially on Time Up since he did not say anything bad about her on Make I Shine, Kaakie said, “EL got it wrong in the first place for even agreeing to feature on the song.”
According to her, she hit hard at EL on Time Up because she felt real men should not interfere in some things which are soley for ladies and whatever is happening now is one such instance.
“Whether he said something bad about me or not, I called him a ‘Mummy’s Boy’ because he should have stayed in his lane,” she added.
Asked if she was hitting back at female Dancehall artistes to revive her career since she has been off the music radar for a while, Kaakie said she didn’t need any launch pad and that the Dancehall genre is all about beefing.
“Ghanaians are yet to understand Dancehall. The genre is full of beefing and regardless of what anyone wants to say about me, I am very okay with that,” said Kaakie who plans releasing several songs to fill the gap created when she took time off to concentrate on her education.
When Showbiz contacted EL about what Kaakie said about him, he said that it was unfortunate Kaakie had to say this about him but he featured on the song not knowing it was a counter to Kaakie.
“What people don’t know is that Make I Shine was recorded even before the VGMA was held. I think the timing of the song’s release is what has brought this whole issue but I am very cool with whatever Kaakie says about me,” he said.
