| SARKODIE - RAPPER |
Management of Ghana’s
artiste of the year at this year’s GMAs Sarkodie known in real life as Michael
Owusu has come out to deny and rejoin the story published by 18newspaper.com
that Sarkodie bags GHC1M as Vodafone Icon.
According to a management member of Sarkodie, the artiste is not a Vodafone Icon.
The member noted: ‘what
Sarkodie did was to endorse a product from Vodafone which is the
vodafonelive.com.gh As a matter of fact, he
as an artiste of the year for the VGMA though it wise to support such a
laudable idea from a company that seeks the welfare of musicians hence his
involvement with the network.’
He maintained: ‘Sarkodie
endorsed the product just as the very same way Nigeria super star DBanj and that event happened recently at the launch.
The deal is this,
Sarkodie felt as coming up as artiste he suffered getting his songs there, studio cost is very
expensive so why does an artiste do a song and put it on facebook for free
download. If that is the case then when an artiste completes a single, he
should put it on Vodafonelive for fans to download for only 40p, which to him
is fantastic, Sammy lamented.
After the long interview
with the management member, 18newspaper would want to retract the story about Sarkodie
being a Vodafone Icon.
All in all,
18newspaper wishes Sarkodie all the best in his upcoming BET award nomination.
