Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has once again broken his silence after receiving a fake award from self-acclaimed global ambassador ‘Dr’ Kwame Owusu Fordjour, popularly known as Dr UN.
In 2020, Sarkodie, D-Black, Berla Mundi, Johnnie Hughes, Dr Okoe Boye, Daughters of Glorious Jesus, Nathaniel Attoh, SK Boafo, Chairman Wontumi and others fell victim to Dr UN’s fake UN award scam.
Following the investigation, it was revealed that the award scheme had no relation to the UN.
Social media went wild with users trolling the celebrities and politicians who fell victim to the fake award scheme.
Sarkodie in 2020 addressed the Dr UN award saga in a song titled “Gimme way”.
After being mocked by Twitter users and trolls, Sarkodie in Gimme Way said the saga was a bad situation he found himself in.
“I thought I was a hard guy until Dr UN gave me an empty bottle as an award. The day I will meet him, unless I smack him.”
He added that if he had stayed home, he could have been “making love to Tracy [SIC]. “
In a recent interview shared on X by Patriot TV, Sarkordie once again addressed the saga.
According to the Ghanaian top rapper, Dr UN’s award is worth it even though it was not from the UN, as he claimed.
Speaking in an interview, Sarkodie stated, “He got a lot of people, and it became popular because I was part of it. These things can happen sometimes; we got the mail. Angelo always takes the blame. So, Angelo told me we had to go somewhere when he said I should move, I had to move.
I went there, and when we got there, I saw something was off, but looking at the people that were sitting there, I was like, I am not the only person with wisdom”.
Sarkodie narrated further, “Dr UN himself, when I saw him, I was surprised at the suit he was wearing, but I did not know he was the one giving out the award. It was later that I saw him there, also handing over some of the awards.
It can happen to anyone. The way it was presented, you will take it for what it is, but later, when I thought about it, I was thinking it was directly from the UN honouring me”.
“But if it was his own award, I do not think it was wrong; I still had to hold the award. Looking back at it, it is still worth it”, Sarkordie added.
Meanwhile, Dr UN has shockingly claimed that he is part of the reason Sarkodie is popular in the country.
According to Dr UN, Sarkodie’s fame increased after his popular UN award was exposed for not being a genuine award scheme.
Dr UN stated, “I have met Sarkodie several times after the awards; he is my fan. Do you know that I made him Sarkodie? His previous branding was not good enough. If it was not me, why does he trend with the awards?
“I made him trend all the time. After his issue with Yvonne Nelson, he was not popular until he used my trend, and that is where the money is. Why is it that after my award, which was held three years ago, anytime the media interviews him, they hammer on my award?” he said in a video shared by Express GHTV on their YouTube channel.
When he was asked for his take on Sarkodie’s issue with Yvonne Nelson and what he makes of it, he said, “Sarkodie did not show responsibility as a man. In such situations, you have to man up and accept it, whether you have money or not. Leaving her (Yvonne Nelson) to go through that trauma was not the best.”
