Castro’s “Me Nam Na Me Tete” Was Originally A Diss Track At Charterhouse – D-Black Reveals
Ghanaian rapper and entrepreneur D-Black has revealed that the late music icon Castro originally recorded his hit song “Me Nam Na Me Tete” (Seihor) as a diss track targeting Charterhouse, the organizers of the Ghana Music Awards.
In an interview with Blac Volta, Ghanaian rapper and entrepreneur D-Black disclosed that Castro’s hit song “Me Nam Na Me Tete” (Seihor) was initially created as a diss track directed at Charterhouse, the organizers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs). According to D-Black, Castro was frustrated after losing an award he strongly believed he deserved at a previous VGMA event—a disappointment that fueled the original version of the song.
“‘Me Nam Na Me Tete’ started off as a diss to Charterhouse,” D-Black explained. “At the previous VGMAs, Castro was convinced he would win a certain award, but he didn’t, and it became a big talking point. The song was his response to all the buzz about Charterhouse overlooking him.”

The song’s title, which translates to “I hear them talking,” reflected Castro’s response to the public chatter and his perceived snub.
D-Black went on to share that Castro invited him to feature on the track in the same defiant tone, but he declined, explaining that he had no personal issue with the awards scheme.
“He freestyled a diss toward Charterhouse and asked me to hop on it,” D-Black recalled. “But I told him I couldn’t, because they hadn’t wronged me.”
Interestingly, after D-Black recorded his verse, Castro reconsidered the song’s direction. He decided to remove the diss elements and reshape the track into a mainstream single.
“The next day, he came back and said, ‘This is my next single.’ Then he stripped out the parts targeting Charterhouse,” D-Black recounted.
The song eventually became one of Castro’s biggest hits, with fans completely unaware of its original intention. D-Black’s revelation sheds new light on the song’s evolution and offers rare insight into Castro’s creative process and reaction to industry dynamics.
Castro, born Theophilus Tagoe, mysteriously disappeared in 2014 following a jet ski accident in Ada. Though gone, he left behind a lasting musical legacy—including “Me Nam Na Me Tete,” a track that almost told a very different story.
