Songstress Gyakie was billed to perform at Sarkodie’s Rapperholic Homecoming concert held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on 27th September 2025, but she could not mount the stage.

The event organiser Nabil Alhassan said the weather affected the programme’s flow and performance schedule.

“Gyakie was supposed to perform before Sarkodie would come on. She was there but because of the rain. People were trying to find spaces to be before. When she came she went through hell before entering the stadium. Because I was there when she was entered the stadium.”

Nabil Alhassan

Nabil added that the change in plan became necessary after Sarkodie decided to proceed with his performance in spite of the hiccup.

“It would have been easier if Sarkodie had a record with her, because Sarkodie got tired and wanted to now start the show because everybody was looking forward to him. So we didn’t have time to tell who should perform at a particular time.”

Nabil Alhassan

According to Nabil, Sarkodie began his set with songs that featured other artists present at the event, which made it difficult to slot Gyakie in since the two have not yet collaborated.

“He doesn’t have any song with Gyakie so there was no window for us to place Gyakie. So that was what happened. If she has a record with Gyakie it would have been easier to slot her in.”

The Rapperholic Homecoming concert, part of Sarkodie’s 2025 Rapperholic series, featured a star-studded line-up including Shatta Wale, Obrafuor, Reggie Rockstone, Kweku Smoke, Medikal and several others.

Despite the rain causing logistical challenges, thousands of fans filled the stadium to witness one of the most anticipated shows in Ghana’s music calendar.

Some patrons had to brave the rain, while artistes struggled to make their way into the venue. Nonetheless, the night ended on a high note with electrifying performances and surprise guest appearances that kept the crowd cheering till the early hours.

The Event organiser revealed that the late highlife icon Daddy Lumba once demanded that Ofori Amponsah be removed from the lineup of the Valentine show scheduled for 15th February 2025.

He revealed that the request came after all arrangements had already been agreed.

While preparing for the Valentine concert held at the Accra International Conference Centre (Grand Arena), Nabil said he and his team had finalised a list of supporting artistes when Daddy Lumba placed a call through Serwaa Amihere to insist Ofori be dropped.

“We made our first payment and publicity started. One day I saw Serwaa Amihere calling me. She said Daddy was on the line and wanted to speak to me about something going on. He said ‘Nabil, how are you?’. I want you to take Ofori off the show.”

Nabil Alhassan

When Nabil pressed for a reason, he said Lumba claimed Ofori had not been included in the initial list of performers.

When reminded that Ofori was part of the arrangement, Lumba then asserted he had heard Ofori had made negative remarks about him.

Nabil said he was stunned, given that Ofori had performed at Lumba’s birthday party just days earlier.

That notwithstanding, he noted that Ofori Amponsah performed at the event.

According to Nabil, that was the second time he had tried to secure Daddy Lumba for a show. His first attempt in 2012 failed because he could not raise the GH ₵300,000 fee Lumba demanded.

The show, organised by Nabil Alhassan and his Event Factory Ghana team as Valentine with Daddy Lumba, drew strong attendance and is already regarded as one of Lumba’s standout concerts.

Daddy Lumba, born Charles Kwadwo Fosu on 29th September 1964, passed away on 26th July 2025 at the Bank Hospital in Accra after a short illness.

He left behind a legacy of over 33 albums and a catalogue of timeless hits such as Aben Wo Ha, Sika Asɛm, Theresa, Makra Mo, Yentie Obiaa, and Ohia Asɛm.
