Sarkodie: Rapper's mother told him to quit music

Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie was told not to do music by his mother.

This revelation was made known by Pharuk Jbreal, a Ghanaian artiste, responsible for the song widely accepted song, ‘Pressure’.

Pharuk had earlier tweeted that the rapper was dissuaded from making music by his mother, who in her conviction, went to Nana Fynn’s studio. She served him a warning not to allow her son gain access to the studio.

Pulse Ghana  reached out to Pharuk to throw light on the tweet, and he did, explaining that his motive for sharing the information was to inspire people, and encourage them to be tenacious, following Sarkodie’s example.

 “I happen to know Sarkodie before he became a big star and even have songs with him. He hasn’t changed in terms of character, he is not into drugs and lives quiet a decent life.” Pharuk said.

“It is obvious that his mum is proud of what her son has turned out to be. I have seen her at some of his events and it says it all. I can understand his mothers concerns at that time, there are quiet some disturbing stories about musicians out there and as a mother you can only be vigilant and look out for your child. Am sure sarkodie will one day get a degree or even go beyond that, education is not a race.”
