His silence during the NPP's four-year term, especially as the country experienced hardships, led many to expect that he would criticise the government like he had done with the NDC.

However, Sarkodie refrained from making public comments about the NPP government, leaving many fans and observers disappointed. After the NPP lost the 2024 election, Sarkodie’s social media post about his concert sparked a flurry of reactions.

Social media users flooded the comments, questioning why he had not spoken out about the state of the country or the government’s performance, and some even threatened to boycott his concert.
