Sarkodie’s decision to bring Rapperholic to Kumasi for the first time was more than a concert, it was a cultural homecoming.
Held on September 27, 2025, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium, the event defied heavy rains and delivered one of Ghana’s most unforgettable nights in music.

Despite an hour-long downpour, thousands of fans stayed put, dancing through DJ sets and hypeman sessions. The rain became part of the story, symbolizing the loyalty between Sarkodie and his audience.
2. Sarkodie’s poetic entrance lit up the stadium
His arrival was theatrical: a Twi poetry performance introduced him, followed by pyrotechnics and a glowing crown display with “Obidi” emblazoned across the backdrop. It was a king’s welcome in every sense.
3. Shatta Wale’s surprise appearance shook the crowd
In a moment that sent shockwaves through the stadium, Shatta Wale joined Sarkodie on stage. Their playful interaction, including a shove and dance-off with Medikal, became instant viral clips across social media.

In one of the night’s most emotional scenes, Sarkodie bowed before Ghanaian rap legend Obrafour, embracing him in a gesture of deep respect. Fans hailed it as a powerful tribute to hip-hop heritage.

Beyond music, the event partnered with MTN’s MoMoFest to promote cashless payments. Local vendors, hotels, and transport operators benefited from the influx of fans, turning the concert into a multi-sector celebration.
