The wife of Ghanaian rapper Michael Owusu-Addo, popularly known as Sarkodie, Tracy Owusu-Addo has reacted to the news of the death of her husband’s lawyer Cynthia Quarcoo.
The death of the prominent lawyer was announced on Wednesday evening, June 21, 2022, across several social media platforms.
Tracy’s reaction was posted on Twitter with a photo of the late lawyer Cynthia Quarcoo with Sarkodie and his daughter.
The tweet accompanied by emoji expresses how emotionally broken she was upon hearing about the death of her husband’s lawyer.
Beyond her legal career, Cynthia Quarcoo was a respected figure in the entertainment industry.
She was a lawyer for Sarkodie and other artists like Samini and Reggie Rockstone.
Cynthia Quarcoo founded Africa 1 Media, a renowned talent management and public relations firm that collaborated with various Ghanaian musicians.
She selflessly dedicated two years as a pro bono legal advisor to the Musicians Union of Ghana, offering her guidance to artists such as Sarkodie, Rocky Dawuni, Stonebwoy, Edem, Stephanie Benson, Reggie Rockstone, Bisa Kdei, and Samini, among others.
Cynthia Quarcoo’s impact extended beyond her client representation. She made history in Ghana by establishing the first dedicated Entertainment, Sports, and Media Practice within her law firm.
Also, Tracy spoke a day after the news went viral about her husband Sarkodie impregnating Yvonne Nelson in 2010.
However, netizens were expecting that she divorces her husband, rapper Sarkodie, but her post did not speak about the content of the book rather it was about giving opportunities to refugees.
In a video, she shared on her LinkedIn page, Tracey Owusu Addo spoke about a nurse who is a refugee but was given the opportunity and has since been helping to save lives in Ghana.
