Fan criticises Sarkodie's music career
On TV3's subsidiary entertainment channel 3 Xtra's show called Choices, one of their promo videos had a fan airing their opinion which ended up sparking a debate on social media.
In the video snippet, one fan was asked about the chances of Ghanaian musicians winning the Grammys, and he noted that the chances were slim for now.
He explained that unless God intervened, it would be difficult for Ghanaian musicians to grab the prestigious Grammy award.
"Maybe in the future, God might help us. God might be on our side, and an artist somehow, someway, would level up to the Grammys. For now, no. There is no artist for now."
When asked by the producer of the show whether celebrated rapper Sarkodie stood a chance in winning a Grammy someday, the fan noted that the rapper's career had ended.
"King Sark? I think his career has ended."
Reactions of celebrities to fan dismissing Sarkodie
Many Ghanaian celebrities quoted the tweet and replied to the trending video posted by TV3 on their X platform.
Below are the opinions of actress Lydia Forson, singer Efya, and rapper Medikal, who expressed their disappointment in the media station and the young fan:
@lydiaforson said:
"I wonder why nearly all entertainment conversations are centered around so much negativity and why media houses allow it? Do you even know what it takes to sustain a career over 20 years, let alone start one? We really gotta stop these negative takes."
@EFYA_Nokturnal said:
"And they allowed this… for clicks? For clout? This isn’t journalism. This is clickbait, and it’s dangerous. Ghanaian media has to stop building relevance by tearing down its own artists. Instead of highlighting accomplishments, they look for negativity, controversy, and hot takes. That’s not how we grow our industry. That’s how we kill it. We should be celebrating our legends, not disrespecting them for engagement. It’s not just shameful….. it’s reckless. !!!!"
@Medikalbyk said:
"{Expletives}, foolish boy ! Nonsense Camera man, everybody for TV3 ein moda ! Make una no play my music again. Kwasiafo) ehiafo), mboa !"
