Renowned gospel musician, Sonnie Badu wants the government to put measures in place to curtail any unforeseen disaster associated with the crazy stuff people do when they hear the viral song One Corner.
The UK-based musician, who is internationally known for hit songs such as Baba and Rain, is particularly worried about those who engage in extreme absurdity when they hear the song.
He however clarified he’s not against the young man behind the song and even called on stakeholders to help him (Pataapa) to establish himself in the industry.
He said:
“It’s getting dangerous. I saw someone climb an electric pole, I saw someone climb a tipper truck, I saw someone run under a car, and I saw someone dancing while cars were moving. Now this is getting out of hands. Do you want to wait until you hear somebody dead before you say ‘one corner’ killed him?”
“I’m getting concerned about the rate at which people are taking this to the extreme. I’ve seen people jump over people just to demonstrate what the ‘one corner’ means. I believe there would have been restrictions if it happened in other countries.”
“In fact, it’s a good trend. Once in a while, good trends are interesting. We had ‘the ladder’, ‘two thowzing’, ‘kpakpakpa’… This could be an interesting trend that started in Swedru; nobody is taking away the young man’s hard work. It is his time to shine but we have to make sure that if we know it’s his time to shine, then let’s people who know they can help this guy, help him.”
