Clash of Underground Rappers: Ataaka and Maccasio Exchange Heated Words on Social Media
Two prominent figures in the northern music scene, Ataaka and Maccasio, found themselves embroiled in a fiery feud on social media. The confrontation, which unfolded on Facebook earlier today, was sparked by Maccasio’s recent nomination for the reggae/dancehall song of the year at the highly anticipated Ghana Music Awards UK 2023.
Ataaka, known for his uncompromising stance on rap supremacy, took to social media to offer a congratulatory message to Maccasio on his nomination. However, rather than maintaining a positive tone, Ataaka referred to Maccasio as a “reggae artiste,” seemingly insinuating that his nomination in the reggae song category was misplaced. In a seemingly tongue-in-cheek manner, Ataaka encouraged Maccasio to focus on his reggae endeavors and allow him to continue his reign over the rap game.
Maccasio, never one to back down from a challenge, promptly fired back with a pointed response. He expressed gratitude for Ataaka’s message and labeled him a “Dokunu rapper,” a term that could be interpreted as a dig at Ataaka’s style or lyrical prowess. Maccasio went on to provide words of motivation, encouraging Ataaka to persist in his efforts and reminding him that he could potentially find recognition as a traditional artiste in the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).
The exchange between these two rap heavyweights quickly caught the attention of fans, music enthusiasts, and industry observers alike. Social media platforms buzzed with reactions as supporters of both artists chimed in, either defending their favorite or speculating about the authenticity of the feud.
While the origins of this feud might seem tied to Maccasio’s nomination, the underlying rivalry between the two artists has been simmering beneath the surface for some time. Both Ataaka and Maccasio have established themselves as significant voices within the northern music scene, amassing loyal fan bases and contributing to the evolution of the local music industry.
