Sarkodie Being Illuminati Is A Stunt

Michael Owusu, better known as Sarkodie has and will always continue to marvel Ghanaians in more ways than one. His demeanor in the Ghana Music industry is one that continues to baffle his critics.

In his video, “Devio” in which he featured Kemenya, Sarkodie raised even more issues as he continuously flipped the “Horns” sign and wore a black shirt under a sleeveless jacket that had similarities to the many symbols associated with the Illuminati whiles icing the cake with “The All Seeing Eye” sign which is much popular with Jay-z and Kanye West. Critics lunged on this opportunity to accuse the Tema rapper of being sold-out to the Illuminati.

Sarkodie initially planned to release a song titled “Illuminati” exactly midnight into the 28^th of November which a few out-spoken ones pointed out as mysterious, he however altered this idea after fans bombarded him impatiently by releasing it on the internet 11pm on 27th November. The track that hammered on the impossibility of him being a Freemason and aimed his audacious lyrics and punch-lines at his haters who conspicuously wanted to bring him down due to his success achieved through hardwork has spun heads all around.

Accusation of his affiliation to a secret occult society known as Freemasons or the Illuminati is no “last night news”. However, he has proved more than experienced in handling this controversy as a true showbiz icon. Instead of coiling into his shell as an embittered and betrayed artiste, he has channeled this publicity and hype into music which makes him more appealing as an artiste.

It all seems a bit mapped out since the same artiste who speaks of being for God (as stated in his illuminati song) would continue to demonstrate popular symbols of the secret cult in his videos. As they say any publicity is good publicity as the most successful artistes have usually always had a sense of mystery about them.

Is it a strategy?? Your guess is as good as mine.
