He noted that he and his colleague developed a close relationship and would mount the stage together at music events. The Nyedzilo hitmaker said that he and Sarkodie had mutual respect for talent despite not regularly being together.

Edem also recounted how he and rapper Sarkodie made big sacrifices for each other some years ago. He stated that his colleague performed at his mother-in-law's birthday party for free despite battling severe malaria, which had taken a toll on him.

He said:

"There were some key timelines we made some sacrifices. I will cite an example. My mother-in-law was organising her birthday party, and Sarkodie was sick. He had malaria. He promised me that he would come and perform for free, so Angel Town (Sarkodie's manager) and others brought him. He was in the car. He had a temperature. He got down, performed and jumped in the car and left."
