Entertainment pundit, Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo, says that only people who lack a basic understanding of the music industry and beef (a lyrical feud between two artistes) would have an issue with the ongoing beef between Efia Odo and Sista Afia.
Reacting to opinions shared on the beef by his co-pundits on the United Showbiz show, Arnold explained that beefing involves releasing content and information meant to hurt the opponent.
“How can we discuss beef in the music industry and have people quote Matthew and Jacob? Some are saying we should justify why there should be dissing in beef songs, while others are saying that in the context of beefing, musicians should sing about their achievements when they are in the booth.
“Let’s be realistic, anyone who has an issue with the ongoing beef between Sista Afia and Efia Odo does not have a grasp of what the music industry is about and lacks a basic understanding of what beef is all about,” Arnold said on the United Showbiz show hosted by MzGee.
He added that during times of beef, musicians engaged in the banter aren’t required to justify the content they put out against their opponent.
He believes that at the end of the day, the focus of a beef should be on whose songs caused the most damage.
He said, “Recently, Kendrick and Drake were at each other, and Drake said Kendrick beats his wife. Did anyone call Drake to justify his claims?
“This is because with beefing, the mindset is that I am doing something to hurt you, and I am doing a song that will cause people to mock you.
“In the same beef, Kendrick also alleged that Drake has fathered another child. Did anyone call him to justify? This characteristic of a beef can be traced back as far as 1995 when Tupac and Biggie had their beef.”
