This assertion came after Fiifi Selah performed an acapella, prompting the host to inquire about the similarity between his style and Samini's.

Fiifi Selah declared himself the pacesetter in reggae-dancehall music, claiming that all artists within the genre followed his lead.

He reminisced about aggressively promoting reggae-dancehall music during his time hosting a radio show, which contributed to the genre's popularity in Ghana.

Fiifi Selah went on to boast that Sarkodie is the only rapper capable of mimicking his style, as it is unique and challenging to replicate.

"Nobody can rap my rap; only Sarkodie can do it because my rap is hard to get," he declared.

Despite his bold claims, Fiifi Selah expressed pride in the impact his music has had on other musicians over the years, mentioning Kofi Kinaata and Ayesem among others.

TH 4 Kwages, formerly known as Sass Squad, emerged during the late '90s and was known for hit songs like ‘Nana Esi,’ ‘Kwakyemu,’ ‘Menya Obaa Fefe,’ ‘Serwaa,’ and ‘Wongye.’
