The rapper on social media established that his production for the Rapperholic concert would not extend to the pitch.
In a post, the musician acknowledged the rules set by the National Sports Authority (NSA) to protect the Kumasi stadium’s pitch.
“The rules were set from day 1, and we are not ready to break it.”
His post comes after NSA boss, Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, cautioned that the government would not tolerate any damage to the soccer pitch, which is being maintained for the upcoming national soccer games.
Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, in an interview with Asempa FM, established that Sarkodie had only been permitted to use the Baba Yara Sports Stadium as a venue for Rapperholic and not the pitch.
The NSA boss established that any damage caused to the pitch would amount to a fine.

@nnosolution remarked:
What’s the point of doing a concert at a stadium if you won’t fill the whole place please?
@UwerLostUntilMe shared:
Come on bro that’s more than half of the stadium cut off, are you underestimating the numbers that’s gonna turn up
@1BongoIdeas commented:
It is still on the pitch. Would the fans be standing in the air? More structures at the stadium would be damaged not only the pitch which is why it gotta be stopped NOW!
@ishmael_idriss
It’s disheartening to see Ghanaians often focusing on negativity online. We tend to realize our mistakes only when neighboring countries are thriving. It’s rare to see influential figures like Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, or Stonebwoy concern with positive backup!
@Qweisyphynext7 commented
