As late as 10:00 pm, patrons at the venue, Baba Yara Sports Stadium, had been drenched in rain, and no major performances had taken place.
In a video seen by YEN.com.gh, dozens of fans fled out of the open to find shelter from the downfall.
Many held umbrellas to protect themselves, while those without one shielded themselves with various articles of clothing to wait for Sarkodie.
