In a live TikTok session that was later shared on X, Shatta Wale said Sarkodie was a genuine industry player.
He disclosed that during the just-ended Rapperholic Concert, which was held in Kumasi, Ashanti Region, Sarkodie bought him cars to support his Shaxi business.
He added that Sarkodie asked him not to tell anyone about the gesture, but he indicated that he could no longer keep it.
"When he bought the car, he told me not to tell anybody, but I told him we all have to support each other. I know he won't be happy that I have said this on live."
"Tracy is my baby. We are sorry for entering his (Sark) account. I am sure Tracy would ask why he didn't inform her that he wanted to purchase cars for me. Shoutout to the Sark natives," he added.

"Let’s always find a friend like this who will be willing to accommodate us in his time of shine, but not to be ungrateful to such a friend when our time also comes, because it’s a meal on wheels on a table! Everyone gets served at every wheel!!!"

"I think that was a smart move from Sark, because we all know Wale very well. He will later come and insult Sark that he supported him during his concert."
@WONDERBERKOH said:
"People often said Sarkodie never gives, and at a point it got to me. But during my university days, I paused and asked myself what if he is the realest of them all. The one who gives without announcing it, because true generosity needs no audience. It's the silent virtue of the noble heart."
