Grammy prizes are beyond of reach for Sarkodie because he is a native Twi musician, according to Dr. UN
Dr. UN, a self-described international diplomat and PhD holder, recently made a contentious comment attacking the language and career choices of Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie.

Dr. UN asserted that Sarkodie's contributions to the music industry pale in comparison to his vast expertise, accomplishments in international initiatives, and ability to bridge borders.
"I am a PhD holder who has crossed many borders and worked on many international interventions that Sarkodie has not reached," he said with assurance. Dr. UN continued to criticise Sarkodie's musical usage of the Twi language.
He maintained that the rapper's inability to win major honours like the Grammys is mostly down to this linguistic decision.
"He is only a Ghanaian song twister, and he is not winning GRAMMY awards because he doesn't use the universal language," UN said.
Fans and industry insiders are debating this comment in a fierce manner.
Despite linguistic hurdles, many have defended Sarkodie on social media by stressing his accomplishments to bringing Ghanaian music to a global audience.
Proponents contend that Twi is a distinct and true aspect of Sarkodie's work, and that music transcends language.
Despite the backlash, Dr UN stands by his statement, suggesting that adopting a more universally understood language could potentially elevate Sarkodie’s career to new heights.
As the debate continues, it raises broader questions about the role of language in music and the criteria for international recognition and success.
It's unclear how Sarkodie will react to Dr. UN's remarks, but one thing is for sure: this conversation has highlighted the difficulties in achieving international music popularity and the variety of routes musicians might choose.
