Rapper
Sarkodie ‘Obidiponbidi’ is indeed at the peak of his career both as a
recording artiste and performing artiste and this was evident at the
just ended fourth edition ‘Ghana meets Naija’ concert.
The
‘Illuminati’ Rapper, who put up the best act on the night, left the
patrons screaming for more way after he had left the stage after
treating them to a thrilling 30-minutes performance but what would
probably leave a lasting memories as far as his performance is concerned
was a female fan whose love for the star led her to mount the stage
uninvited to how much she adored him.
This emotional gesture got
Sarkodie himself in tears perhaps overwhelmed with the love shown him.
This also got almost everyone in the auditorium dancing and singing
along with him.
At a point, he had to cut the performance and change the trend of songs to more danceable and less emotional tunes. During
Sarkodie’s performance, one of such fans, a young lady who could no
longer control her emotions jumped out of her seat and run to the stage
weeping aloud like a baby and begging Sarkodie to touch him. She
put aside all shyness and lay prostrate before Sarkodie’s feet, weeping
on his shoes and saying, “Oh Sarkodie please touches me, Sarkodie
please, Sarkodie please hold me.” When the lady was raised form
the floor, she knelt before the musician and cried uncontrollably until
Sarkodie stopped singing and asked the DJ to pause the instrumentals to
which he was performing. Sarkodie was also moved to tears as he
helped raised the lady to her feet and give her a hug, “I am sorry, I am
sorry…let me do something less emotional,” he stated. The lady
could neither stand straight nor walk properly and had to be helped to
leave the stage. She kept looking over her shoulder to catch a glimpse
at Sarkodie while she continued weeping. The scene further
heightened emotions in the room as several of the ladies were seen
wiping their tears with their handkerchiefs. Chief Executive of
Empire Entertainment, Bola Ray, was also moved during Sarkodie’s
performance. He actually rushed to the stage and showered the musician
with crisp with currency notes. Davido, Shata Wala, Edem,
Castro, Kcee, Wizboy, Guru, Mzvee, AK Songstress, Praye Tiatia,
Screwface, Koo Nkatra, actor Lil Win, Shiloo, among others, all put up
very impressive performance s that gave guest value for their money. Though
the number of people in the auditorium was far more than the number of
seats available – leaving hundreds on their feet – the event could not
have been organized any better than it was. |
