They Said I Won’t Make It Singing In Twi – Sarkodie Shades Critics
Sarkodie, while responding for the first time on her infamous public spat with ex-lover Nelson, has revealed how he responded to criticisms during the formative periods of his accomplished career.
The revered Ghanaian rapper who is officially the most decorated artiste in Africa proclaimed that when he began his career, people said he won’t flourish because he used his native language in his songs.
Sarkodie said he has thrived despite the unfair impression people have of him and that he has risen above the limitations predesigned for him. He stated it is the same approach he is applying to the brouhaha he has faced since the Yvonne Nelson saga emerged.
To this end, the rapper admitted that he rarely responds to beefs because he thinks that no one in the industry is deserving of his answer. He said that in an interview with Angela Yee on Way Up.
The Ghanaian rapper claims he no longer listens to unjustified criticism because he has managed to turn all the criticism he received into something positive. Additionally, he should gain from responding to someone’s criticism if he is going to do so.
He stated;
“To be very honest the reason why I don’t speak is because nobody is really worth my response which has always been my stand. It should be somebody that I am going to benefit from, even if I don’t want to respond I will respond because I will benefit from it.”
“Most times the people that speak about Sarkodie, If I look at them from top to button, like is it even worth it for me to go back and forth with this person. That’s the main reason why I don’t speak.”
“When I started my journey, I cared about what people said and I realized that it doesn’t change anything. People said a lot about Sarkodie, I will not be able to make it big rapping in my native language, I am here now, I am not going to be able to do a show in the States, I took the BET Award so now when I hear people speak, I am like you are joust saying something it’s not going to change so it is not worth it” he concluded.
