Sarkodie Bashed!!

Since 1st July, the story of an ordinary Ghanaian boy turning his fortune and that of Ghana music around has hypnotized the airwaves. Michael Owusu, also known in music circles as Sarkodie jointly won the BET International Act Award (Africa) with Ayodeji Balogun, a.k.a. Wizkid of Nigeria.


Following the outrageously successful event which took place last Sunday, music-lovers from all walks of life have rained praises on the artiste non-stop. He is hailed as the best Ghana has ever had due to the feat he has achieved and one cannot blame anybody.


He has set a standard paralleled by none other in his field. Undoubtedly, he is Ghana's face when it comes to music. However, it is already all over the internet and the streets of Ghana about the rappers alliance with a worldwide occult group called the "Freemasons" or the "Illuminati". Also the rapper who has since leaving the country for the BET Awards not returned to Ghana, is being described as "proud as Lucifer". Can anyone actually put their fingers to any evidence to this claim??


Has democracy become so cheap that people speak out of feeling and without evidence??


I believe in the existence of the Illuminati but I refuse to accuse anyone of being part of such a cult without plausible proof.
Is this the attitude Ghanaians plan to meet hard-work with?? Would up and coming artistes want to be at the receiving end of such attacks?? If we seek to promote Ghana music, we really shouldn't cripple it before it tries to stand up.


Let us encourage artistes who do well and not bash them because of their success. Big ups to Sarkodie and his team as well as all his true fans.
