I will keep tormenting Prez. Mahama – Barima Sidney

Controversial hiplife artiste Barima Sidney says he will continue to torment the President and politicians with his music until they make things right.

Barima Sidney made the revelation when he was asked if returning to performing political songs will not affect his music career, during an interview on Hitz Entertainment News with Doreen Avio Wednesday.

He said, “Even if it affects me, I’ve already made up my mind to do it. There is a positive and negative side to everything but you have to let the positive outweigh the negative so no matter what I’ll go through; I’m ready to go through it. Posterity will judge one day”.

Sidney, who disclosed to Hitz Entertainment News some time back that he was not going to do political songs anymore, said he took that decision because he was the only soldier in that fight.

“I faced a lot of challenges after my “Donkomi” song and based on that I decided to just stop doing political songs because it’s a very lonely road and people also kept advising me to stop doing such songs and do the normal ones so they can invite me for shows.

“But it’s not about performing on stages. When you visit the villages, they tell us, we are the ones who the politicians listen to so we should continue and we will be heard,” he noted.

Barima Sidney said he almost gave up but had to return to doing political songs because he realized that it was his calling and more especially now that things are not going well in Ghana.

He has released a new single titled “Sikadiee Basabasa” which talks about the current economic situation being experienced in the country. The song features Asempa FM’s Patrick Osei Agyeman popularly known as Countryman Songo.

This he says is the first of many songs he is releasing to torment the President and politicians.

He says, “If God permits, I’ll release songs every two weeks to torment them till they set their priorities right because most of us believe the President is a youth and for that reason [he has] no excuse to fail and besides, we want him to succeed.”
