“what’s the king without a regiment? If you really want to battle with the better, check your readiness … you make the wrong move, a man, you no go get me o Rasta no be toy, them no fit set me o Them lay ambush and them try set me up But them know I’m good Jah, Jah bless me o It’s funny when a man said he’s gonna end my career When he can’t even run ten of my career Everybody knows, me, I be the benchmark for years”.

The “Linda” hitmaker accepted that the song which was produced by JMJ has some punches

and it’s very necessary and allowed to have them.

The ‘My Own’ hitmaker was asked if he is fighting to be relevant in the industry as the African Dancehall king following the emergence of artistes like Stonebwoy, Epixode, Jupitar and Shatta Wale, who has on countless occasions branded himself as the best on the continent.

He however answered that;

“I’m a musician and dancehall is one of the things I do so when the kids want to flex their muscle, I just drop down the level to show them I’m still the boss.”

“I’ve never fought over dancehall king title because I brought the term African dancehall king but someone is claiming it today but he has to give credit where it is due.

Go listen to my African dancehall king track and you will realize it. My term in that song attracted people to claim that name upon themselves.”

“I’m not fighting with anyone over it because when you look at that genre, there were people doing way back before I came into the scene.

In our time there was Sonny Bally, Ronnie Coaches, Borax, Terry Bonchaka, the list is endless but the term African dancehall was originated by me.

“When I hear people bragging I laugh because I don’t need to make noise about that. I appreciate everything that I’ve done so far and If my fans are happy, I’m happy because I appreciate them a lot.”

Born Emmanuel Andrew Samini, he also shared his journey in the Ghanaian music industry. As well as how he aided other artistes to become who they are today.

When quizzed by the host on why he [Samini] composed his hit banger ‘Gyae Shi’ to wit ‘Stop Smoking’, he revealed that it was out of his personal experience.

He disclosed that he composed the song when he was very young after he blended ‘wee’ with ‘Akpeteshie’ one hot afternoon. Adding that he however realized that Akpeteshie was better than ‘wee.’

Awards-winning dancehall act, Samini has launched a foundation, “Obimbra” Foundation to fight domestic violence in the country.

Cases pf domestic violence and abuse are on the increase each passing day even though government is doing its best to combat the act.

The foundation was birth from his song titled, “Obimbra”.  Which is an Akan word andtranslates as “cry for help”.

In an interview on Showbiz Agenda on Zylofon FM, Samini explained the motive behind setting up the foundation.

He expressed that the issue of domestic violence especially sexual abuse has in recent times, been in the rise. His  foundation hence hopes to put in measures to curb the act and also get victims to speak up.

“Rape has always been one of the leading problems worldwide. But how often do we hear victims speak up. I set up my foundation to help victims of sexual abuse to speak up as well as bring perpetrators to justice”, he stated.

The musician come philanthropist has joined forces with Africa 1 Media and Empire Group, with the support of EIB Network. They aim to sensitize the public on the need to be each other’s keeper in an effort to curb all forms of domestic abuse.

Through the rallying of voices of influence and the pledges of social commitment from the citizenry, the mission of Obimbra Foundation is to supplement existing intervention for victims and create new avenues that offer safe spaces.

It will also provide physical, mental and financial support to people who suffer sexual abuse.

Awards-winning dancehall artiste, Samini has challenged his colleague and long time arch-rival, Shatta Wale to a lyrical bout in the ring to finally prove who the King of Dancehall is.

Shatta Wale, not long ago dared his nemesis and record mate Stonebowy to step up for a one-on-battle to prove who’s the best in the dancehall genre in Ghana.

It however seems Stonebowy is not ready to step up for the challenge as he’s yet to response to the dare.

But Samini, born Emmanuel Andrews Samini is rather grabbing the opportunity to ‘battle’ it out with the self-acclaimed dancehall King.

Samini, speaking on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on Monday said he was ready to “catch Shatta Wale one-on-one, four bars to four bars…” to prove who is king lyrically.

According to the ‘My Own’ hitmaker, he believes that Shatta knows when it comes to freestyle rap, he [Samini] was second to none.

Samini insisted: “he can’t stand me when it’s freestyle. He knows; he knows. I know he is a freestyle artiste too and I can’t disrespect for that fact but he knows I am bad when it comes to that…”

Stressing on the lyrical battle, the HighGrade Family Movement boss urged the Zylofon signed artiste to ready a huge capital should he dare to accept the battle.

“He [Shatta Wale] needs big money and investment so we showcase the thing once and for all to Ghana and the world so everyone knows he just talks. He can’t go on any platform without mentioning me. If you say someone sabotages you, you need to prove that…” Samini told Andy Dosty.

Shatta Wale on the other hand is yet to respond to Samini’s challenge.
