Ghanaian rapper and businessman, D-Black has disclosed that late musician Castro originally recorded his hit song “Seihor” as a ‘diss’ track to Charterhouse, organizers of the Ghana Music Awards.
D-Black in an interview with Blac Volta revealed that Castro turned to music as a way to express his concerns when he felt he was not given the award he thought he deserved at the Ghana Music Awards Scheme.
“Me Nam Na Me Tete,’ was initially a ‘diss song’ to Charterhouse. Because the past VGMAS, there was an award that he thought he was going to win, and he didn’t win, and everybody is talking about it,” D-Black revealed.
He further explained that the lyrics of the song is a reflection of the public sentiments surrounding his loss.
“That’s where the ‘Me Nam Na Me Tete’ came about, which means, he’s hearing that people are talking about the award that Charterhouse didn’t give him,” he added.
According to D-Black, Castro initially requested him to record a verse on the song that echoed the original “diss” tone.
But D-Black says he declined since he didn’t personally have a problem with the organizers of the Awrads.
“So he told me to freestyle on it, a little ‘diss’ to Charterhouse and then he told me to freestyle on the song too, but I told him I can’t do that because they didn’t do nothing to me,” D-Black said.
D-Black further emphasised that after he recorded his verse, Castro changed his mind.
He took out the ‘diss’ portion from the song and reposition it as a commercial release.
“So I freestyled on it. The next day he came and he said that’s his next single. Then he took out the diss to Charterhouse and filled it with something else,” D-Black recounted.
