What may have been greeted with derision in the Ghanaian music space has rather earned Ghanaian artiste Patapaa international praises.
'Scopatumana', a term which became popular in Ghana after it was used by Patapaa in a song by Kawula Biov (Daavi Ne Ba) on which he featured, has found its way into dictionary.com.
On their official Twitter handle, the world's leading digital dictionary posted a link that explains the word with the caption: “It resembles expressions in Hawaiian, Malay, and Indonesian, but what about in Ghana, where it's from?”
“Sco pa tu mana is a nonsense phrase made popular by a rap by the Ghanaian musician Patapaa. The phrase inspired the Skopatumana Challenge, where people post videos of themselves rapping Patapaa's lyrics,” it reads.
