Sarkodie rebuts exorbitant fees claim

AGAINST allegations making rounds in entertainment circles about Sarkodie’s “ridiculous” demand to have organisers of the Ghana Music Awards Europe to finance eight members of his crew to London last week, the artiste’s Manager Sammy Forson, has saud that it is unfounded.

Forson revealed that as has been the custom, any event organiser who wants to engage Ghana’s fastest rapper “Obidinpobede” Sarkodie should brace himself to bear the cost of at least an additional five people who make up Sarkodie’s crew. These five extra people are his Manager, DJ, Personal Assistant, Personal Stylist and a Bodyguard.

It was said that, Sarkodie, who had earlier agreed to perform at the London show backed out at the last minute because the organisers could not meet his demand of getting his crew and sister to accompany him on the trip.

Speaking on Tuesday, Sammy Forson denied the allegations and labeled it as a “lie” and “public deceit” on the part of organisers to gain public sympathy for the poorly organised event.
