Akwaboah And Strongman Still Get Paid Though They're Not On My Label - Sarkodie

Ghanaian rap icon Sarkodie has revealed that he continues to financially support his former label signees even after they have departed from his label. In an exclusive interview with Angela Yee on the prestigious "Way Up Show" in New York City, Sarkodie shared his profound empathy for artists like StrongMan and Akwaboah, who were previously signed to his Sarkcess Music label.

Sarkodie emphasized that his commitment to looking out for artists stems from his genuine concern for their well-being and success.

In summary, Sarkodie, the Ghanaian rap icon, shared his compassionate approach to artist management, expressing that he still financially supports his former label signees even after their departure.
