Sarkodie’s Rapperholic Concert climaxes Momo Fest 2025 in Kumasi
The Kumasi metropolis was thrown into a state of frenzy last Saturday as thousands of fans flocked the Baba Yara Sports Stadium for Sarkodie’s Rapperholic Concert that climaxed the 2025 Momo Fest.
Despite a heavy rainfall, the event, powered by MTN, drew unprecedented crowds for the month-long initiative to promote financial inclusion, the use of mobile money, and raise awareness on MoMo fraud prevention.
The musical event was preceded by educational roadshows, cashless market fairs, and community engagement activities across the country.
Vendors at the MoMo Cashless Market and Fair, set up within the stadium premises, offered goods and services payable exclusively through mobile money, giving patrons a live demonstration of MoMo’s utility.
The concert, headlined by multiple award-winning rapper Sarkodie, featured performances from several high-profile Ghanaian artistes including Medikal, Kofi Kinaata, Donzy, Kweku Smoke, and Efya.
But the appearance of Shatta Wale, who joined Sarkodie on stage, took the excitement a notch higher as it marked a rare public collaboration between the two top acts.
The event would go into the history books as one of the largest music gatherings in Kumasi and a fitting conclusion to a festival that sought to blend innovation with entertainment.

She beats off keen competition from a pool of talented contestants to secure the crown, with Alberta Yaaba Ackah finishing as first runner-up, Edith Nico placing second runner-up, Margaret Yaa Ankomah as third runner-up, and Cindy Anderson Bondzie as fourth runner-up.
The grand finale marked the climax of weeks of intensive grooming, cultural exposure and community engagement activities by the contestants, organised by Carilex Productions.
Before the finals, contestants undertook a cultural and educational tour to the Bisa Abrewa Museum in Nkontompo, Sekondi-Takoradi, as part of efforts to enrich their understanding of Ghana’s history and identity.
Madam Princess Antwi, Chief Executive Officer of Carilex Productions, described the maiden edition as a success, noting that it had laid a strong foundation for nurturing talent while also creating awareness about drug abuse and HIV/AIDS.
“This maiden edition has been a remarkable journey, and we are proud of how far these young ladies have come. It has never been just about beauty, but about building confidence, discipline, and a strong sense of identity,” she said.
According to Madam Antwi, the pageant seeks to raise a new generation of young leaders who are grounded in Ghanaian values and prepared to contribute meaningfully to national development.
“These young girls are the future, and through this platform, we are equipping them with the knowledge, confidence and voice to make a difference in their communities and beyond,” she stated.
Ms Adjei-Yeboah is expected to champion initiatives focused on youth development, education, and cultural promotion as part of her reign.
