Obrafour and Possigee Clash Over Songwriting Credit on 'Hope' Featuring Sarkodie

Accra, Ghana – Ghana’s vibrant music industry is in the spotlight again as legendary rapper Obrafour and renowned sound engineer Possigee engaged in a fiery Facebook exchange over songwriting credit on the track 'Hope' — a popular collaboration between Obrafour and Sarkodie.

The controversy erupted after Possigee stated in an interview that Sarkodie wrote the hook and chorus of the song. The comment was interpreted by many, including Obrafour, as downplaying the rap icon's role in creating his own work.

“What kind of lies is this? Can you tell me which of my songs any ghostwriter wrote for me or Sark? Don’t involve me in any of your clout chasing nonsense,” Obrafour posted angrily on Facebook.
“Respect yourself and lemme be in my corner.”

Possigee Responds: “I Was Referring to Sarkodie’s Input”

Possigee, who has been a key figure behind some of Ghana’s biggest hits, responded that his comment was misunderstood. He clarified that he merely spoke about Sarkodie’s contribution during the recording process, not Obrafour’s lyrics.

“I am talking about Hope. I recorded Sarkodie and the choir, and as you know, I have never been a clout chaser,” Possigee said.

But Obrafour wasn’t appeased.

“Who said Sark wrote my hook? Get your facts right, pls. Call him and ask and don’t be misinforming,” he fired back.

"Watch the Full Video" – Possigee Urges Calm

Attempting to cool tensions, Possigee asked if Obrafour had watched the full video where the remarks were made, suggesting that the rapper had taken the comment out of context.

“Don’t just listen to some and judge about how you heard it... watch the full video and get the context clear, with all due respect,” he pleaded.

Obrafour, however, held firm:

“I don’t need to. Your caption is enough.”

Possigee concluded with:

“Yes, I understand. Then you will be misled if you don’t watch the full video...”

Industry Divided: Legacy, Credits, and Digital Miscommunication

The exchange has stirred widespread conversation among fans and industry professionals, many of whom are debating:

• Who really wrote what on 'Hope'?

• Are collaborative roles in music production being misrepresented?

• How much weight should be placed on social media headlines versus full context?

The incident also speaks to the broader issue of narrative control in the age of digital media, where quick comments can snowball into full-blown public disputes.

So far, Sarkodie — a central figure in the controversy — has remained silent, as have other key contributors to the track.
