Sarkodie is the only musician who gave me money after our accident- Yaw Sarpong
Ghanaian gospel legend, Yaw Sarpong has disclosed that multiple award winning rapper Sarkodie was the only musician who gave him money after their dreadful accident.
Yaw Sarpong disclosed this in an interview on Onua FM’s Anigye Mmre programme with Christian Adjei Frimpong.
According to him, Sarkodie is not the kind of person others are trying to paint, adding that he is a wonderful perform.
He added that Sarkodie’s love and respect for humanity is incomparable.
Yaw Sarpong further expressed appreciation to Ayisha Modi, manager of Kenyan superstar, Victoria Kemani for her support.
According to him, Ayisha Modi has also shown concern and wants to change his life.
The veteran musician and his team were involved in a near-fatal accident last year.
The accident occured when an over-speeding truck trying to overtake another vehicle took over their lane—and in an attempt to avoid a head-on collision, the car which the gospel star was in, got hit by a different vehicle.
The vehicle of Mr Sarpong landed in a ditch after it was hit by the other vehicle.Occupants in the vehicle, including the veteran musician and his backing vocalist, Maame Tiwaa, and some team members sustained some injuries.

The fourth edition of the fast-rising fashion and cultural event, the Slit and Kaba Festival, is set to take place on May 1 at the Legon City Mall in Accra.
Organised by Roots Africa, the festival aims to promote Ghanaian culture through the traditional Kaba and Slit outfit, known for its vibrant African prints and unique designs.
Speaking to The Spectator Agoro ahead of this year’s edition, dubbed “Old School Kaba and Slit Meets Batakari,” the Founder of Roots Africa, Mrs. Deborah Kabutey-Djisah, popularly known as Manye Korngo, said the event has gained significant popularity over the years and promised an even bigger experience this time around.
“The intention is to revive old-school fashion while celebrating our revered Fugu, also known as Batakari, which has gained massive exposure in recent times,” she stated.
“It is also an opportunity to showcase our culture and demonstrate to young people how fashion has evolved over the years,” she added.
She further called on vendors to come on board to display their products and services, noting that thousands of patrons are expected to attend the event.
“Don’t miss the chance to have your brand featured on our flyers, make incredible sales, and be part of an unforgettable experience,” she urged.
According to her, the previous edition was a great success, attracting patrons from across the country. Due to the growing interest, a larger venue had to be secured to accommodate the anticipated crowd.
“I’m expecting ten times more people than we had at last year’s festival,” she added.
