My work should be motivation enough for up and coming artistes – Sarkodie

Rapaholic headline artist Sarkodie has stated that he doesn’t necessarily have to be featured on a song by an up and coming artiste in order to motivate them.

He was speaking to the press after a successful Rapaholic launch yesterday at the Accra City hotel. According to Sarkodie, it is wrong for young artists to claim that they do not receive any form of support from older and more successful artists.

He cited Daddy Lumba as someone he takes great inspiration from looking at his age and how relevant he still is in the music industry.

“It is a spoilt mentality to say they are not mentoring us; you don’t say that nobody is supposed to. Somebody could just keep winning to help you. If I look at Daddy Lumba still getting paid certain amounts to perform, he doesn’t have to mentor me. I am just looking at him and getting me inspired, and I want to work,” he said.

He advised that they should take that mentality out of their minds and be inspired by the good works of artists such as E.L, himself and all the others that keep winning.
