Sarkodie has been a victim of getting “killed” by the internet despite him being very alive and kicking.
The rapper who kickstarted 2021 in a bang that has been felt in all corners of Africa by working with Khaligraph Jones, Victoria Kimani, Vic Mensa, Harmonize, and even managed to release a single was sadly “killed” on social media.
The news of the death of Sarkodie was allegedly first reported by an online TV station called Agyaadu TV.

Sarkcess Music entreats all parties involved, to stop the spread of this false news with immediate effect.
We are in strange times. The world is in the middle of a pandemic, the last thing we should be doing is creating circulating false news and generating unnecessary tensions.
We wish to send a reminder to all to adhere to the covid-19 protocols and stay safe.

Netizens have since been calling for the arrest of the owners of the online TV station, Agyaadu TV who purported the sudden death of one of Africa’s best rappers alive today in Sarkodie.
Actually very disturbing how these things keep popping up…not once not twice…at this point, the next best thing anybody would possibly think of is to sue…but Unoe what the least I can say now let’s be more responsible in your journalism..whatever the goal is this is certainly not a way to go 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
If you are a big international person of interest like Sarkodie, this usually tends to happen to the best of them so it’s never a big deal but at least, journalists have to be more responsible just the way Sarkodie said.
