In a moment that’s got the whole Ghanaian music scene buzzing, Sarkodie, one of Africa’s most decorated rappers, has extended a powerful co-sign to emerging artist Keddi—and the internet can’t get enough.
It all started with a freestyle, no flashy visuals, no major studio, just Keddi, raw, real, and rapping in Ga with so much fire and vibrance.
His verse wasn’t just technically sharp—it was emotionally charged and culturally rich.
The video made its way onto X (formerly Twitter) and soon caught the eyes of Ghana’s rap king himself.
The reaction was instant. Retweets, likes, shares—and most importantly—hope for a young artist whose dreams had just collided with destiny.
Keddi, overwhelmed with gratitude, shared his emotional response: “Dear Highest King @sarkodie, I’m really grateful for posting me. This means the world to me. I’m even shaking as I type.”
And just like that, a door opened, not because of industry politics, not because of connections, but because pure talent spoke louder than anything else.
This moment is more than a co-sign—it’s a cultural handoff.
Sarkodie’s recognition of Keddi isn’t just symbolic; it’s strategic. He’s stepping into the role of mentor, offering to personally A&R a project for the rising star—an opportunity that many young artists only dream of.
It also reaffirms something crucial – “The streets are still watching. And so are the kings.”
In an era where digital noise often drowns out real talent, this proves that authentic voices still break through. Keddi’s freestyle wasn’t just a performance—it was a prayer answered.
For Sarkodie, it’s another chapter in a legacy of lifting others as he climbs. For Keddi, it’s the beginning of what could become a defining journey.
And for Ghana, it’s a powerful reminder that our language, our rhythm, our stories—still matter. Keep your eyes on this story. The next voice of the streets may have just found his mic.
OBJ Recounts How Sarkodie ‘Swindled’ Him Out of Project
Ghanaian fashion designer, Jeremiah Obuobi, recalled how Sarkodie ‘stole’ his ideas during a clothing line project.
Recalling how it all began, Jeremiah explained that he came up with the brand name Sark, T-shirts, and also the logos with the head of Sarkodie.
According to OBJ, just when he could finalise a business deal with the rapper, he read in the media that the rapper had launched a clothing line called Sark Collection, which was his idea.
“In 2011, I designed a sneaker called OBJ Sark 1. It was intended to be a collaboration between myself and Sarkodie. The name Sark didn’t exist back then. I coined it out of Sarkodie’s name and created a logo featuring his head. We met with Sarkodie’s team and presented the idea, where Sammy Forson encouraged us to return with a prototype… We spent 8 months developing a prototype, and when we wanted to present it to them, it was of no avail.
“At the 2012 Rapperholic concert, I was asked to print the same logo I had designed on T-shirts, which were worn at the event… We never heard from Sarkodie or his management until 2013, when I discovered that shoes and clothing were being sold under the Sark brand. ”

The fashion designer also disclosed how, after the rapper’s team decided to pay GHC 20,000 during the legal tussle, but on the day of payment, his lawyers didn’t show up in court.
“I took to issue to the copyright office as a professional, and I was told by Sarkodie that they were going to pay. But that didn’t happen, so I took the matter to court and we spent 3 years in court… Out of GHC 90,000, Sarkodie’s team decides to GHC 20,000, but on the day of negotiation, neither Sarkodie nor the lawyer showed up. The Sark brand name and the illustrated logos were my creation, even if they were based on Sarkodie’s name.”

OBJ further quizzed the rapper for suing Ecobank for copyright infringement after doing a similar thing to him.
