Sarkodie has acknowledged the economic hardship in the country at the moment.
Although he does not think releasing a song to bash the current government is necessary, he believes that a lot of people are going through difficult times.
He told 3Music TV in an interview on Thursday, November 10, 2022 that “the country is worse [now]. We are in a serious crisis. People are really suffering.”
He however, said he is unfazed by criticism that he is unable to bash the current government because he campaigned for them in his ‘Happy Day’ song during the 2020 elections.
According to him, said everything he said in his songs: ‘Dumsor’, ‘Inflation’, and ‘Masses’ during the tenure of John Mahama, are still relevant today, so he does not think it is necessary to do another song to talk about the same things.
He also said he still stands by his ‘Nana Toaso’ [Nana continue] comment in the ‘Happy Day’ song which was released in December 2020.
“What I said he [Nana Addo] should ‘toaso’, I stand by it because I think I benefitted from Free Education directly and I have the right to say I endorse that because this is directly. My mum has these girls we’ve been supporting. At first, she would call asking me to help. I am not saying it is much but just the fact that I am not even hearing that, it came from that place. And I was specific about what I was endorsing,” he noted.

In the ‘Happy Day’ song, Sarkodie mentions that if in the past he talked about erratic electricity supply (dumsor) and inflation but can now enjoy Free Senior High School policy rolled out by the NPP, then Nana deserved another term.
At the end of the song, he also mentions a popular slogan of the New Patriotic Party: “the battle is the Lord’s.”
In the meantime, Sarkodie will be releasing his 10-track album titled ‘Jamz’, tomorrow.
