His fans went to the comment section to share their opinions.
“I now understand why Sarkodie rejected all these international record labels that have been rushing him since day one. It’s because he wants to own everything so that he can make his fans share owners of his project one day. Congrats to us DarkNation.”

The initiative is a token of appreciation for the ‘SarkNation’ which Sarkodie describes as the best fan base in the world.
Opulous App’s announcement of the first Music Fungible Token (MFT) airdrop featuring Sarkodie’s mixtape has added to the excitement.
Fans are encouraged to register by May 20, 2024, for a chance to earn money from the mixtape indefinitely.
The mixtape is scheduled for release on May 24, 2024.
Nana Poku Ashis Commends Rapper
Ghanaian artist manager, Nana Poku Ashis commended rapper Sarkodie for his initiative to sell his shares of his upcoming mixtape.
According to him, Sarkodie is one of the smartest musicians in Ghana.
“Owning shares in one’s company makes a part owner of that company. What he is doing currently or right now is expanding his territories. Most of the time, musicians concentrate on their fanbase internally, but I think he is trying to expand.
“There are other people who are not much into the fun part of it but are very business-inclined. So, I’m sure this would also draw people to read more about him, research about him, and then see how best they could be a part of the business holdings that he’s trying to share at this moment.”

Ashis further lauded Sarkodie for taking advantage of the ruckus in the Ghanaian rap music scene to launch the project, as all eyes were on him.
He also expressed his wish for other artists in the country to embark on similar ventures in the future.
“It’s refreshing to see people being innovative in their ways of creativity. These are some of the kinds of things we want to hear, not fighting and arguments we see every day. I think Sarkodie is one of the smartest musicians we have in this country. And if you study the brand, Sarkodie, he knows exactly when to drop a pin for it to be loud.
“And the way he constantly keeps the ‘SarkNation’ along with him in whatever he does is a breath of fresh air. He should keep it up. We want to see more artists venture into different endeavors.”
