A recent controversy surrounding Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie’s involvement in the “Makoma” music video shoot has sparked a heated debate. The issue began when fellow Ghanaian Kofi Mole claimed that Sarkodie was invited to participate in the video shoot of the song which was released on September 20, 2020, but he failed to show up.
Yaw Skyface, the director of the music video, corroborated Mole’s account, stating that Sarkodie was scheduled to appear on two separate dates but did not honor either commitment.
However, Sarkodie responded to the claims via Twitter, stating, “Allow my name to rest, I have no idea about this.” The rapper’s denial has raised eyebrows, with some questioning the validity of his statement especially David Portfolio.
Entertainment pundit David Germain Portfolio has weighed in on the controversy, suggesting that Sarkodie is attempting to create a narrative that the media is unfairly targeting him. Portfolio stated, “Sarkodie is trying to create a narrative that the media has been setting an agenda against him, which is nonexistent.”
He further stated that no organisation has supported Sarkodie’s career more than the media.
Portfolio’s comments imply that Sarkodie’s denial may be an attempt to deflect criticism and shift the focus away from his alleged absence from the video shoot. The pundit’s assertion has sparked a lively debate, with some fans defending Sarkodie’s account and others expressing skepticism.
As the controversy continues to unfold, one thing is clear: the truth behind Sarkodie’s involvement in the “Makoma” video shoot remains unclear. While Sarkodie maintains that he was unaware of the shoot, others claim that he was indeed invited but failed to attend. The debate is likely to continue, with fans and pundits alike weighing in on the matter.
