Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Rapper Sarkodie has come under fire from Adom FM radio host Mike 2 for a recent remark he made about radio hosts.
Sarkodie in an interview during the weekend with Fire Stick said that many journalists are fond of criticizing artists in the wrong way and that those who haven’t worked with international platforms like BBC have no moral right to criticize them.
Sarkodie has been yanked by Mike 2 as he reminds him that radio hosts helped to build his brand and are responsible for who he is today.
Sarkodie has been tasked with expressing regret to radio hosts for his remark.
“I see it to be very unfortunate and I think he goofed. I have taken the time to read the story. Initially, when I saw the headline, I thought it was one of those headlines but when I read through, I could see that the writer didn’t take his position in context. It is a real position that he (Sarkodie) said”, Mike 2 said.
Mike 2 sharing his thoughts on the comment of Sarkodie said, although the rapper has paid his dues in the music industry, radio presenters have been able to elevate the brand.
“Trying to denigrate presenters who have held him from the scratch… About eleven years ago when Sarkodie emerged in the industry, social media wasn’t vibrant. There isn’t one way or the other that no presenter hasn’t supported him. When Kasahare was at its peak those days with Dr. Duncan. Sarkodie was part of the people who passed through Adom FM and other radio stations…they contributed largely to his career.
“I am surprised that Sarkodie somebody who has been touted as respectful and calm will come out with such a statement. It surprises me, maybe he just spoke out of ego or maybe forgot himself as Sarkodie. He just goofed and I will be very happy if he sits down and thinks of it and come out to apologize because you can’t just denigrate every presenter.
“Is he trying to say that those big presenters that he passed through didn’t do anything to his career? He is now terming the presenters as local champions. Music is different from a journalism career because when you are a musician, you are motivated to go internationally it is not the same as media personnel,” the radio presenter explained.
