Sarkodie, the renowned Ghanaian musician, is a name that resonates with millions of music lovers around the world. Born as Michael Owusu Addo on July 10, 1988, the Tema-based rapper has emerged as one of the most influential and talented artists in the Ghanaian music industry.
From his humble beginnings, Sarkodie's journey to stardom has been nothing short of remarkable. Known for his exceptional lyrical prowess and captivating stage presence, he has carved a niche for himself with his unique blend of rap and Afrobeat music.
Sarkodie's musical style encompasses a rich fusion of African rhythms, poignant storytelling, and thought-provoking lyrics. His songs often touch on themes of love, life, social issues, and the pursuit of success, resonating deeply with his diverse audience. Sarkodie's ability to effortlessly switch between English and his native language, Twi, adds a distinctive flavour to his music, making him relatable to fans both within and beyond Ghana's borders.
His talent has earned him numerous accolades and recognition both locally and internationally. He has been honoured with multiple awards, including BET Hip Hop Awards, MTV Africa Music Awards, and Ghana Music Awards. His contributions to the Ghanaian music industry and his impact on the continent have solidified his position as one of Africa's most celebrated musicians.
On Sunday, June 18, 2023, a month to Sarkodie's 5th wedding anniversary, Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson released her memoir titled 'I Am Not Yvonne Nelson'.
In the book, Yvonne revealed that, 8 years before Sarkodie's marriage to Tracy, the Ghanaian musician impregnated her. The baby was aborted.
Writing about the incident involving Sarkodie in her book, Yvonne wrote in 'I Am Not Yvonne Nelson':
It was a grim piece of information that was capable of turning my world upside down. I wasn't the only one responsible for the situation, so I called the man whose potent seed had germinated in me. His name is Michael Owusu Addo, a renowned Ghanaian musician who is better known as Sarkodie.
Sarkodie was a budding musician with the potential to become one of the biggest artists in Ghana and beyond. At the time, however, the future looked uncertain, and his way through the maze of life still appeared too foggy to predict. Success was not guaranteed. He was still living with his mother and was not ready to carry a burden while he was being carried by his mother.
"I wouldn't call what had developed between us a serious relationship. I gravitated toward people in the music industry. For the longest time in my life, music was my getaway from all the unpleasant things life threw at me. So, I liked his talent. We started talking and got close.
