Sarkordie Pleads With Event Organizers To schedule Him Early For Shows

Award-winning rapper Sarkodie has pleaded with event planners outside of Accra to move his shows to an earlier time slot, claiming that working late into the night wears him out and degrades his performance.

The rapper said in a Facebook post that while he enjoys the party lifestyle in many cities outside the capital, he performs best before 1 a.m. and finds it difficult to sustain the same energy levels when forced to play around 4 a.

m.

"To my people in most towns outside Accra, I get that you guys love to party till morning. But as a performer, my energy is at its highest level until about 1 a.m. max,” he wrote.

“Any moment after that, my body starts to shut down (which is natural). So I’ll plead with you guys to try to have me on stage much earlier so you can get the best out of me.”

The rapper also stressed that performing at dawn is unnatural for the human body. 

“I be tired performing around 4 a.m. in the morning … that is not normal for the human body,” he added.

Sarkodie's comments adds to the many discussions on how entertainment events and concerts in various parts of Ghana are frequently postponed, forcing major performers to play in the wee hours of the morning.
