Ghanaian rapper, Kweku Flick has expressed his deep gratitude to award-winning rapper Sarkodie for believing in his talent and giving him the platform to shine.
Kweku Flick gained significant recognition last December for his standout performance on Sarkodie’s Messiah. Reflecting on the experience, he acknowledged that it was Sarkodie’s trust in him that made it possible.
Despite receiving widespread praise for his contribution, Kweku Flick remains thankful to Sarkodie for the opportunity.
Speaking about their relationship, Kweku Flick, born Andy Osei Sarfo, revealed that he had always admired Sarkodie, even before breaking into mainstream music.
“Sarkodie has always been an inspiration to me. Long before I started my music career, I was a fan of his. His music and lifestyle motivate me. Our bond grew stronger when I discovered he was a close friend of my uncle,” he shared.
“He treats me like we’ve known each other forever, and I respect him a lot for that. One thing I’ve learned from him is his seriousness when it comes to music and work,” he told Graphic Showbiz.
Kweku Flick also highlighted how Sarkodie’s artistry has influenced his own music. Songs like No Sleeping, High, and Black Stars reflect the depth of his lyrical abilities and dedication to his craft.
Recently, he released Yaayi, a Drill single aimed at keeping the Asaaka music movement alive. Addressing the current state of Asaaka in Kumasi, he confidently stated that the movement is still going strong.
His earlier Drill hits, including New Year and Bye Bye, played a key role in pushing the Asaaka genre into the mainstream. While some believe the energy around it has faded, Kweku Flick insists that the movement is very much alive.
“The vibe is still there. Music is evolving, and everyone is focused on their individual careers. Just because people don’t see it as they used to doesn’t mean it’s gone,” he explained.
Over the years, Kweku Flick’s style has often been compared to that of Kwesi Arthur, with some critics accusing him of mimicking the Grind Day hitmaker.
However, he dismissed these claims, emphasizing his strong relationship with Kwesi Arthur.
“Kwesi has supported me since the beginning of my journey. Many assume we aren’t on good terms, but that’s far from the truth—I see him as a brother.”
“He recently did something for me that I wasn’t expecting, and it made me appreciate him even more. He knows exactly what I’m talking about,” he revealed.
