Ghanaian rap luminary M.anifest has stirred the African hip-hop scene with a provocative claim during a recent interview on Capital XTRA in London. When asked about the state of hip-hop on the continent, he quipped, “Only two rappers in Africa; me and nobody in particular,” delivering the line with a characteristic grin.

This audacious remark has ignited a flurry of reactions across social media platforms. While some fans lauded it as classic hip-hop bravado, others viewed it as a fitting assertion from an artist of his calibre.

The statement aligns with M.anifest’s history of confident declarations. In 2016, he released the track “god MC,” which many interpreted as a lyrical challenge to fellow Ghanaian rappers, notably Sarkodie and EL. The song sparked widespread debate and was seen as a pivotal moment in Ghana’s hip-hop narrative.

M.anifest’s influence extends beyond bold statements. His discography, including acclaimed albums like “The Gamble” and “Nowhere Cool,” showcases his lyrical prowess and commitment to storytelling. Collaborations with international artists such as Damon Albarn, Flea, and Burna Boy further cement his status as a global music ambassador.

As the debate continues, M.anifest’s recent comment serves as a reminder of his enduring impact on African hip-hop and his unwavering confidence in his artistry.
