Ghanaians and the media start shaking when I release a song – Sarkodie tells BBC

Sarkodie was recently on BBC for an interview and he revealed many things. He spoke about his new song “Inflation” which was sending a message to the sitting president, John Dramani Mahama.

According to a reportage by Starr FM, Sarkodie told BBC that whenever he releases a song, Ghanaians including the media start shaking.

“I am a citizen so when something hits me, I think I have the right to talk about it, same way music listeners can criticise me when I go wrong.

I have a loud mouth to talk about it, I have platforms that when I release a song everybody is shaking, media men are talking about it and that’s the idea… when I do music, you always listen to it and it keeps reminding you.

That speech is always gonna be there…if you ask me ‘what are you doing for Ghana music?’ I will always say ‘I’m trying to put it on the map’ but am I putting it on the map? That’s the question.

If there are serious cases that we need to address and I’m in the position to talk about then and I get the chance, of course I will.

don’t take it political because people think I am for a certain political party. But I was talking about all the other parties before him (JDM).

We don’t need parties, we need leadership.”
