Multiple award winning rapper, Michael Owusu Addo, popularly known as Sarkodie, has admitted he was nervous during his Rapperholic Homecoming concert at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi.
The rapper said the heavy rains that poured before the event scared him.
According him, he felt the show might not happen, especially because of the thousands of fans who had paid to attend.
“I was very scared, especially for the fans. I kept thinking about how they would feel if the show didn’t happen,” Sarkodie said.
He explained that it had rained the previous day and continued on the event day, falling on and off from morning until evening. Sarkodie said he prayed for the rain to stop before the performance.
According to him, he could feel how heavy the rain was on the roof while waiting indoors.
He revealed that he kept messaging his team members because he was more worried about the safety of the fans than the stage setup.
The rain forced some fans to run for cover, which caused a bit of confusion at the stadium, but Sarkodie said he was relieved that the concert still went on successfully.
Despite being one of Ghana’s most experienced performers, Sarkodie admitted he was very nervous that night but grateful that everything eventually worked out.

Mr Gunu received the management team of Sesinam, led by her Team Lead, Ms Latifatu Ajals Abdul Karim, at his office to seek the support and collaboration of the Regional Coordinating Council for the contestant.
The Regional Minister assured the team of his support and the collective goodwill of the Council, and presented GH¢10,000 towards Sesinam’s participation in the competition.
He encouraged Ghanaians, particularly people who identified with the Volta Region, to support and cheer on Sesinam as she used the platform to showcase the region’s rich culture, heritage and beauty to the rest of the country.
Mr Gunu said supporting the regional representative was not only about the competition but also provided an opportunity to promote the cultural identity and heritage of the Volta Region on a national platform. Sesinam is among the eight contestants remaining in the competition after eight contestants had been evicted, as the pageant enters its ninth week.
The 2026 edition marks the 20th anniversary of Ghana’s Most Beautiful, a television reality pageant that brings together contestants from across the country to showcase Ghana’s diverse cultures, traditions and heritage. GNA
