Multiple-award-winning rapper Michael Owusu known popularly as Sarkodie has opened up on the reason why he rejected the money of business mogul Nana Appiah Mensah well known as NAM 1.
Recall that business mogul NAM 1 signed a couple of artists onto his record label, Zylofon Records. Some artists he signed were Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale, Kumi Guitar, Wendy Shay, Joyce Blessing, and others.
Sarkodie on the other hand rejected the money of NAM 1 to be signed on his record label, Zylofon media. He has disclosed that he rejected the offer because the offer covered only him and not the entire industry.
During a chat on Big Vibes with Sarkodie, the rapper delved into more details of the contract with NAM 1. He disclosed further stated that the entertainment industry lacks funding and wanted the contract to benefit the entire industry and not only him.
I told NAM 1 I don’t think about myself alone because his interest was more in Sarkodie. I can’t fault him because any businessman will look at people who will be profitable to him.”
“For a very long time, I haven’t been about what Sarkodie can do for himself. I really want the Ghanaian industry to survive.
“That is the conversation that I had with NAM 1. So my approach was if the guy gets the bread, we have a lot of artists who are already in the system. We can just package them and push them with full force. If we had money, we would host a big show in America.
