Ace Hood who is a former signee of DJ Khalid’s ‘We The Best’ record label has come forward again to label the celebrated, award-winning rapper, Sarkodie a liar.
A couple of years ago, in 2015 to be exact, Sarkodie linked up with Ace Hood to release one of the hottest rap collaboration songs yet in ‘New Guy’ released under Sarkodie’s record label, Sarkcess Music.
Being the first time Ace Hood had collaborated with an African rapper, the media was curious about how the collaboration came to fruition in the first place, and when Sarkodie was asked about how the song ‘New Guy’ came about he finally answered.

Sarkodie said that Ace Hood and his management were the ones who reached out to him and asked for a feature that Sarkodie’s camp obliged to.
This was back in 2015.
After learning about the interview that Sarkodie had on Starr FM speaking with Bola Ray about working with him, Ace Hood responded via Twitter saying that he charged Sarkodie for the feature and he even had receipts.
Ace Hood tweeted that he charged Sarkodie $25,000 for the ‘New Guy’ feature as he revealed on a tweet that he was tagged on, this was back on May 22, 2015.
“…let me find out nxggas spreading false rumors! When dat 25k hit my acc the feature got done! I don’t play dem games” the tweet read.

After an old video made its way on social media about Sarkodie claiming that Ace Hood’s management reached out to him for a collaboration project with the ‘Hustle Hard’ hitmaker, Hood has bounced back to address the speculations calling Sarkodie a liar once more.
Ace Hood who reacted to the interview that sprung up from the internet’s archive said Sarkodie lied but there’s no bad blood between them and wishes him nothing but success in his music career.
“A lie smh. But I wish him well” Ace Hood wrote reacted on the video on Twitter.
A lie smh. But I wish him well!
