A-Reece declares himself the only African rapper

In a Twitter post, A-Reece posted a lyric from Ghanaian emcee, M.anifest's 2021 single, Scorpion Flow. The song is a bar parade where the Ghanaian superstar raps non-stop for just shy of three minutes.

The statement is made at the very end of the song where the Tomorrow hitmaker declares himself as the only emcee in Africa that he recognises:

"Only two rappers I know in Africa, me and nobody in particular."

The two emcees previously went head-to-head in the 2022 Hennessy Cypher along with fellow rappers M.I Abaga, Octopizzo and Vector.

One can imagine just how a bold statement such as this can ruffle some feathers in the rap community. Reece has been known to make similar declarations and make an exit, leaving Twitter heated up in a debate as his fans back his bold claims.
