Arnold Asamoah Baidoo, a well-known Ghanaian entertainment journalist and show pundit, has taken a swipe at radio personality and reggae singer Blakk Rasta.

Blakk Rasta earlier revealed that he has been very hurt seeing how rapper Sarkodie "desecrated" Bob Marley’s legacy on the recent "Stir It Up" feature.

Buttering his point, the opinionated Rasta man noted that the legend would never have considered Sarkodie if he were to be alive because of Sarkodie’s one-way kind of music.

Though challenged by scores of industry players, Blakk Rasta still took to his Twitter account and dragged the children of the late musician for disrespecting their father’s legacy.

Describing the feature as posthumous, he asked them why they had suddenly thrown away their father’s hatred for Barry White’s music and gone ahead to feature someone in that space.

"So Stephen Marley, Ziggy Marley, Julian Marley, and Cedella Marley, what's this new craze of DESECRATING Bob Marley's music with these posthumous collaborations? Would Bob have sanctioned this if he was alive today?

"Remember what he said about his music and Barry White's music? Stop this!" read his tweet.

In response, Arnold was clear about the fact that Blakk Rasta has every right to criticise the song, but to him, his approach is wrong.

He told the reggae singer to stop what he is doing.

"Senior Blakk Rasta, Please, I had no qualms with you expressing your opinion on the song, but now I strongly believe you are doing way too much. Stop it! Stop stop! Please stop!" Arnold stated in his reply.
