Sarkodie flies to France for Olympic event
In a trending social media video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Sarkodie was spotted at the Airport preparing to board a flight to France for the Paris Olympics Africa Station fan zone event.
The rapper was spotted a black hoodie, shorts, and white sneakers as he took a photo with a fan, ex-footballer Asamoah Gyan, and gospel singer Joe Mettle at Terminal 3 of the Kotoka International Airport.
Rapper Sarkodie will share the stage with King Promise and Darkovibes on August 10, as the Ghanaian artistes billed for the Africa Station fan zone music event at the Stade Robert Cesar in L'Île-Saint-Denis.
The rapper's performance at the event recently came under public scrutiny after a human rights group, the New Ghana Social Justice Forum, petitioned the French Embassy and the organisers to ban him from performing.
The group argued that Sarkodie promoted misogyny in his songs and cited his recent public spat with actress Yvonne Nelson as grounds for his exclusion from the event.
Below is the video of Sarkodie preparing for his flight at the Airport:
