Yvonne hit back with a message that read, “Insults won’t work, Michael.” Weeks later, Sarkodie admitted on the Way Up With Angela show that he was not “super proud of everything” about how he handled the situation.

Asked about their relationship in April 2024, Yvonne said, “We are not friends, and after what happened in the book, we have not been close friends.”

According to an earlier report by YEN.com.gh, Sarkodie also spoke about his planned 2027 concert at London’s O2 Arena in the same interview.

When asked what would happen if the venue did not sell out, he said he was unbothered, adding, “If you don’t fill it, you don’t fill it.”

The rapper explained that the strong turnout at his first Rapperholic Kumasi show informed the choice of a bigger venue this year.
