Sarkodie apologised to his fans in Detroit for his inability to perform as advertised because he was left stranded after his aeroplane made an emergency landing.

A part of his tweet read:

"Sat at the airport for about 6 hours and from complains from passengers, this isn't new with that airline, especially from this part of the world (Africa). They keep sending these weak old flights ( business class almost same as economy) to pick us up knowing very well they are not safe but still risk lives. We almost landed on the ocean, but thank God we touched that island safely. No compensation, nothing, and our bags are still on the island."

To which the airline responded with their official Twitter account:

"Hi! My name is Brittany with Delta. I apologize for the long wait time to get through to us, and I appreciate your patience. Please meet me in DM for further assistance."

Airlines are moving mad these days!!! AirFrance, Delta.. all moving mad!!! The institutional racism is very clear!! They don’t respect their African customers.: makes me wonder why we don’t have a Ghanaian national airline.

We understand and we know you will not deliberately miss your event for any minor reason. Sad you had to endure this unfriendly situation but thank God you are still in good hands. It's my prayer you & any other person never experience this. So unfortunate. @Delta you can do better.
