"Sarkodie is the most decorated Ghanaian rapper" - Boadu-Ayeboafoh
In an exclusive interview with YEN.com.gh, entertainment pundit Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh spoke about Sarkodie's legacy and impact on the Ghanaian music industry.
He noted that Sarkodie was the most decorated rapper the country had ever produced and that nothing could take that away from him.
Buttressing his point, Mr Boadu-Ayeboafoh said Sarkodie's brand positioning was so secured only a serious scandal could shake the foundation.
"Sarkodie is relevant every single year in terms of music and top-of-mind conversations, thus I don't think he has taken a hit."
Addressing the comments on social media under the post, the seasoned entertainment pundit said that the Original hitmaker must have anticipated such negative feedback from social media users.
He noted that the rapper had been the face of backlash after failing to speak up against galamsey despite constant calls from fans.
"As for the comments on social media, I believe he anticipated such feedback, due to the political atmosphere in Ghana, currently."
