"I Almost Stopped Kumasi Rapperholic Concert And Refund Fans' Money" - Sarkodie

Ghana’s rap icon, Michael Owusu Addo, popularly known as Sarkodie, has finally broken his silence on the challenges he faced during the recently held Kumasi edition of his annual Rapperholic concert.

In a candid revelation, the award-winning rapper admitted that he almost stopped the show midway and refunded tickets to fans due to unexpected setbacks that threatened the smooth running of the event.

According to Sarkodie, organizing Rapperholic outside Accra came with a unique set of challenges. From the heavy costs of logistics and sound to the difficulties in coordinating a large-scale production in Kumasi, the event tested both his patience and determination.

He disclosed that at some point, things seemed so overwhelming that he considered calling off the show entirely, believing it would be fairer to return the money of fans who had purchased tickets rather than deliver a performance below his standard.

However, Sarkodie explained that the love and energy of his fans gave him the motivation to push through. He stressed that his commitment to his audience has always been at the core of his music journey, and that conviction kept him going even when the odds seemed stacked against the show’s success.

The rapper expressed deep gratitude to fans who turned up in their numbers, describing them as the true reason the event became memorable despite the challenges.

The Kumasi edition of Rapperholic eventually turned out to be a thrilling experience, drawing massive crowds and featuring high-energy performances that reaffirmed Sarkodie’s dominance in the rap industry.

His honesty about nearly refunding fans’ money has sparked admiration, with many praising him for prioritizing audience satisfaction over financial gains.

Sarkodie’s revelation also sheds light on the difficulties behind the scenes of major concerts, reminding fans that the glamour on stage often comes with immense pressure and sacrifice.
