The event which took place in Accra recently saw the award-winning rapper perform songs such as ‘One Time For Your Mind’, ‘You Go Kill Me’, ‘Living Legend’, ‘Onyame Nhyira’, ‘one million cedis’, ‘Non-Living Thing’ and ‘Otan’ among others.
The crowd went haywire when he dropped ‘You Go Kill Me’, singing word for word. The song which continues to be the favorite on the music list of people, climaxed his performance.
Sark, as he is affectionately called, asked a female fan to join him on stage, and to his surprise, the lady was called Tracy, a name his wife also bears.
The fan who could not hide her excitement on the sidelines of the launch noted that she has been an ardent follower of Sarkodie for a long time.
“I have followed him and his works for a long time. I will describe him as a people person, talented and hardworking. I’m happy to be the lucky one who went on stage with him,” Tracy Akoto-Sasu said.
Apart from Sarkodie, other entertainers and media personalities passed through the event to interact with fans and consumers.
Notable among them were Media General Berla Mundi and Naa Ashorkor; radio and television presenters, Delay, Israel Laryea Oheneyere Gifty Anti; actors, Akabenezer and, Akrobeto among others.
Speaking at the event, the Managing Director of Unilever Ghana, manufacturer of the toothpaste, George Owusu-Asah -Ansah noted that their goal is to always provide consumers with products that meet their needs and exceed their expectations.

“We welcomed feedback from consumers and dedicated ourselves to refine and improve our formula. The result is our latest iteration, now 10x more potent, offering unmatched teeth whitening and breath freshness, thanks to the inclusion of zinc,” he said.
Elderly Man Drags Sarkodie For Stinginess
An elderly man expressed anger towards Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie for not spraying money on him and other fans after his performance at the Telecel launch.
Lamenting in the video, the elderly man compared Sarkodie to dancehall musician Shatta Wale, who he claimed would happily shower his fans with money anytime they mob him.
The elderly man said that the “Otan” hitmaker should be open to sharing money with his fans as he expressed his frustrations while others at the Telecel launch tried to console him.
Walking away, the elderly man said people should forget about the existence of Sarkodie since he is not someone who gives.
The video sparked debate on social media as many wondered why the man would compare Sarkodie to Shatta Wale.

“So my question, is he not a man also to make same money , like others ? Or he just want to be poor and keep begging?”

The man’s anger is a result of Shatta Wale gifting fans money regardless of where he finds himself, during his shows, and even when he grants interviews on television and radio stations.
