Multiple Award-winning Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has revealed how his family has contributed to his level-headedness after fame
In the new interview with Pulse, Sarkodie revealed “Having a family has helped me to stay grounded. You know, as a celebrity, we sometimes are propelled by dopamine from the success and the love of the fans so these things can make you get carried away. However, having a family has helped me to always remember the things that matter”
The rapper then continued by responding to such questions of global dominance over Hip-Hop big names “Until it happens, it will be difficult to talk about it. But yes, I’m working on different things. You know, having a number one song in the country feels more exciting when I was younger but now, not so much. So now, I kind of have a different high that’s what inspires me to look beyond the music. Hopefully, soon I can announce something”
Sarkodie also revealed his reactions to younger rappers who call him out “It’s rap. I used to do that when I was coming up as a battle MC but my musical journey was not based on that. I didn’t try to attack the crown and take it because you end up taking it without thinking about it. The kings are just worth it because they showed their ability and consistency. The battle side of me kept me on my toes even though I became commercial but for me, it was never about killing anybody lyrically, it’s about always being the best version of myself and showing consistency”
Sarkodie would conclude by advising young and upcoming artists “Music journey is very long so one must learn to control the ego side of it. It’s more than just out-rapping anybody because what matters is consistency and the legacy you can build over the years. It’s about putting in the work and doing it for yourself, and before you know it, you will be surprised at how far you’ve come”
