Sarkodie took a lot of things for granted during Rapperholic 2018. Yeah, it was that bad.
It is common practice to find people in a happy mood wherever music is played. One could start some good music in the midst of chaos and have positive feedbacks.
The point in case is, seeing people dance and move around during Sarkodie’s Rapperholic should not cloud the fact that 2018’s show was a poor one in many aspects.
For someone who recently disclosed his plans of wanting a meeting with Ghana’s president to talk some national issues, managing a few thousands of the whole population shouldn’t have been an issue but it was.
And doesn’t give the Sarkodie had organizers excuse. Ghana’s president Nana Addo Dankwah Akuffo Addo does not fill the forms and reports of the Bank of Ghana but he’s the one the king SarkNation wanted a meeting with. Ultimately, Sarkodie was in charge of Rapperholic and had to make it better.
First of all, the entire nation needs to take a critical look at the state of the Accra International Conference Centre. Room temperature is one of the key factors to consider for an audience in a confined space.
As it stands, the Conference Centre is just an enclosed human oven; a case point proved by almost every fan in the auditorium for 2018 Rapperholic manually fanning themselves.
Here’s how Sarkodie and his team did not help. Shows are organized for money; understandable. However, every artist who organizes a concert should be sure of their venue’s limit and stick by it.
That did not happen at Rapperholic 2018. If it did, then Sarkodie and his team owe the audience an apology and explanation as to why some section of the audience who had purchased VIP tickets worth GHc200 cedis could not have seats at the VIP section and basically had to sit on the floor.
Event organizers in Ghana should for fuck save respect their audience a bit. The fact that #Rapperholic will always sell doesn’t mean you should just hire the Conference Centre and pack in folks like Sardines

If you are a true SarkNation member, you should let @sarkodie know that #RapperHolic18 was the worst ever. I love Sark to a fault, and that is why I want him to understand this so he whoops the ass of the team that f****d him up yesterday.

You see, the truth is, 8/10 Ghanaian talents and their teams, apart from the music, have little or no idea about its related business. You go on about how you want a controlled environment for your production and then pull this off? Lol!

So many things didn't go well for the technical side this year but how people dey party here even though there's heat means people dey enjoy the performances. Original performance saved the show. #Rapperholic

MY Sarkodie #rapperholic experience ended at 9:30pm. You pay for VIP ticket and cannot even find a place to stand. TOTAL FRAUD!!!. I left they should keep the money.

@sarkodie I like your concerts but you please note that your fan base has out grown the AICC. We are suffocating. Kindly get a bigger venue next year #Rapperholic

Clearly @sarkodie commands the sort of clout to fill auditoriums. If the Conference Centre is too small for you, move to the Fantasy Dome or even the Stadium. People can't pay for 'VIP' and made to stand in walkways. #Rapperholic2018
