Highlife icon, Barima Sidney has revealed that rapper Amerado turned down a request for a feature on his new song ‘Bibia B3y3 Fine.’
In an interview with Giovani Caleb on 3FM Drive, Barima Sidney said after doing solo music for a long time, he decided to give collaboration a shot, especially when he’s been out of the music scene for a while.
After speaking to few friends, he got in touch with Amerado who requested for the instrumentation of the song to be sent to him.
Barima continued that two days later, he contacted the rapper who told him that his management had advised him not to accept the collaboration for ‘Bibia B3y3 Fine’ song.
However, he said Amerado was wiling to collaborate with him for a remix of his ‘Obia ni Obia’ old song which he accepted and expressed his willingness whenever Amerado is ready.
“When I was ready to come out with this BBF thing they suggested one guy, Amerado so I spoke to him and he was like I should forward the instrumentation to him.
“So two days later, I was like bro what’s up and he was like I have listened but my management said they prefer we do a remix of Obia ni Obia and I was like okay, no problem when you’re ready.
“So in a nice way telling you I cannot jump to this,” he narrated on 3FM Drive on Thursday, July 11.
Barima Sidney further narrated that a friend later suggested King Paluta to him.
He said the ‘Aseda’ hit maker recorded his verse on the song just a week after he had contacted him and sent him the instrumentation of the song.
“So, a friend in London, Obofuor was like there’s this new chap in Kumasi called King Paluta. So, I was like how do I get to him and he said talk to Okyeame Kwame so I spoke to Okyeame Kwame and he linked me.
“I called Paluta and he was like Chale legend forward the piece to me. Then a week later this guy forwarded his verse and everything and I was like wow so that was how I got him,”
‘Bibia B3y3 Fine’ was released in May this year and Sidney says the feedback has been “so far, so good.”
