Fans Are Never Wrong To Ask For More - Sarkodie

Sarkodie is in support of fans who push their favourite artists for more content because it is their right as fans.

The 'No Fugazy' hitmaker opined that it is the responsibility of every artiste to handle the mental pressure that comes with fans asking for more songs.

As an artist, he explained how he has found ways to deal with the demands of fans even though sometimes the demands become too much.

According to him, the more experience an artiste is, the more he finds ways to deal with the massive demands laid down for him.

“I have been doing this for 10 years and artists fall off because of the pressure the media and fans place on them.

"I don’t think you are wrong to ask more of me as I have to live up to expectations but at the same time creativity has to thrive in freedom.”

Sarkodie maintained that an artist needs a free mind to be creative and artists who do not find ways to deal with the pressure will always struggle to produce content and this is by no fault of the fans. P

“There are certain songs I couldn’t have done if I listen to people. I felt free and wasn’t thinking about hit songs when I made the songs that made me. So it is literally no pressure and I had to whip my style and do what I do best,”

This he said while speaking to Naa Dzama on Y102.5FM’s Myd Morning Radio Show.

He further noted that achieving a balance for mental sanity is a huge way to achieve goals as an artist.

“You have to deal with things and live because there are a lot of people who have died because of what people said and because of the problem they went through.”

“I don’t think I can escape pressure in my career. As a human, you have to keep fighting to be yourself and know that there will be ups and downs, but you need to maintain a balance as all that adds up to make you who you are. So definitely I have had to deal with my fair share of pressure but you always have to find a way to thrive.”

Sarkodie is set to release his seventh studio album dubbed ‘No Pressure’ on July 30th 2021 in Kumasi. He features Ghanaian rappers, Kwesi Arthur, Medikal, Vic Mensa and a host of other undisclosed names in this body of work.
