I’ll keep tormenting the President - 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.”
