Ground Up Chale act Quamina MP has fallen on the dagger of some Ghanaians after he delivered what they describe as 'below par performance' on Tim Westwood TV.
The platform has over the years seen Sarkodie, M.anifest and other Ghanaian artistes display their prowess and the least these music enthusiasts expected was Quamina MP lowering the standard.
In 2011, Sarkodie proved his mettle with a 4-minute freestyle on the channel. His lyrical dexterity was flawless, the flow was simply incredible, his swag and attitude on point!
Fast-forward to 2019, M.anifest, in an all-black apparel pounced on a beat served him and delivered a supercalifragilisticexpialidocious rap punctuated with puns and metaphor.
Although the full video of Quamina MP’s performance is yet to be released, a snippet shared by Tim Westwood TV on Twitter is courting backlash and mockery.
Here's the video clip and a few reactions:

Meanwhile, some have jumped to Quamina MP's defense. They argue that until the full video is released, the rapper cum singer should not be subjected to 'unfair' backlash.
