“My favourite rapper in Ghana now is Omar Sterling of R2Bees. He’s always been. Yes, he’s my all-time favourite Ghanaian rapper,” she said.
According to Gyakie, what sets Omar Sterling apart is his poetic style and ability to weave real-life experiences into his lyrics.

That always makes me very happy. I think he’s a very good writer and storyteller,” she noted.
