American rapper, Akon wanted to sign Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie to his Konvict label but there was a little controversy about the signing.
Ghanaians thought it was a fallacy until Akon came out himself to disclose that his team realized that Sarkodie wasn’t mentally ready for the change of level and wanted to focus on Ghana.
However, it seems Arnold has a different opinion about the signing of rapper Sarkodie. According to him, it was the best decision of the rapper.
This comment from Arnold Asamoah Baidoo comes after dancehall artist Shatta Wale mentioned in a recent interview that Sarkodie failed to take advantage of his relationship with Akon to be bigger.
“Sarkodie not signing unto Akon’s label is one of the biggest decisions he has taken if that’s true. It’s his biggest decision”, Arnold says during an interview on Peace FM’s entertainment news review show.
“Tell me whom you know from Akon’s label. Signees include OJ Boo Dirty, Demarco, Money J, Yaa Boy, and Omega amongst others. I am super gratified with where Sarkodie independently has moved his career to where he is. Independently see where Sarkodie has moved his career from here to that international pedestal”. “Shatta Wale cannot match Sarkodie’s international presence. It is a fact. How was he able to leverage Beyonce’s collaboration? Since 2019, the likes of Burna Boy have gone on to win Grammys and play on big stadia. Why is Wale not comparing himself to Burna Boy?” he said.
