Ghanaian musician Amerado has finally addressed his decision to decline a feature request from Highlife legend Barima Sidney for the track “Bibia B3y3 Fine.”
In a July interview with Giovani Caleb on 3FM, Sidney revealed that after Amerado asked for the song’s instrumental, he received a response from Amerado stating that his management advised against the collaboration.
Recently, Amerado shared his perspective on the situation during an interview with Joy FM. He explained that while he appreciated the song, he felt he wouldn’t be able to contribute effectively to it.
“A typical example is the legendary Barima Sidney. He sent me a song, I loved the song but I spoke to my team that I think that maybe this is not a song that I could really deliver on so I requested for a remix of one of his monster hit but that couldn’t happen too,” Amerado stated.
Despite the previous setback, Amerado expressed his eagerness to collaborate with Barima Sidney in the future, acknowledging the artist’s significant contributions to the music industry.
He stated, “I’ve seen a couple of interviews that the legendary Barima Sidney has been talking about the fact that I ignored a feature. He should take it easy on me because who wouldn’t want to work with Sidney but sometimes maybe we will work on a song that I can really deliver on,” he said.
In contrast, Amerado highlighted his current collaboration with Joyce Blessing, which he embraced because he felt a strong connection to her song “Overdo.”
He remarked, “Joyce Blessing sent me a song last two days, I did it yesterday for her because I could really connect with the song, her ‘Overdo’ song and we are working on a remix,” he added.
Amerado reiterated that he will turn down feature requests if he doesn’t believe he can deliver the right performance.
