Background

edit

Prior to the release of Reign, Wale embarked on a media tour to promote its launch.[5][6] During one of his interviews, Wale made comments which rapper Sarkodie did not like, so Sarkodie released the diss track "Advice" directed at Wale as a result.[7] The diss track generated heated debate, with some pundits predicting it would have a negative impact on the album launch, but the launch at the Fantasy Dome in Accra was considered successful, with thousands of fans attending.[8] Some also criticized the diss track as an attempt to dampen the praise Reign was receiving.[9]
