Ghana’s most decorated rapper, Michael Owusu Addo, widely known as Sarkodie, has officially received the blessing of Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene, to host this year’s highly anticipated Rapperholic Concert in Kumasi.
On July 18, 2025, Sarkodie and his management team paid a respectful visit to the Manhyia Palace to formally seek the Asantehene’s approval and support ahead of the event. The visit marks a historic moment for the Rapperholic brand, which has traditionally been held in Accra since its inception.
