Rap Sofo, Obrafour passed by Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on Monday and made some interesting revelations about his music career.

One of the things he discussed that amazed people was how the rap beef between him and colleague Lord Kenya started.

According to Obrafour, he had an ardent fan in Lord Kenya’s camp who was telling him everything they discussed in their studios, hence was forced to reply him on one of his songs.

He told Andy Dosty that, “a friend of mine who was in Lord’s camp once told me Lord had mocked me when I stated in my song ‘Yaanom’ that I was a rap heavyweight champion and that he was the real heavyweight. I went into defence upon hearing that by recording a song in response.”

Obrafour explained that unlike today, their beef was healthy and further helped them promote their works organically.

“We didn’t sit to plan but at the back of our mind we knew it was cool. I never went on radio to incite the fans against Lord, neither did he do that. If I release an album, fans go for it because they know there is something there for Lord,” he concluded.

Circa 2005, rap legends Obrafour and Lord Kenya went head-to-head in the music industry over who deserves the Rap Heavyweight crown.

Lord Kenya, now a pastor, ignited the prolonged beef by hitting Obrafour below the belt on songs such as ‘Enyom No’ and ‘Baby Nayoka’ among others.
