Ghanaian rap sensation Sarkodie held his highly anticipated Rapperholic Homecoming concert at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi on September 27, 2025. The event was a resounding success, with fans braving torrential rains to witness the spectacular performance.
The concert commenced late in the evening, featuring captivating performances from top Ghanaian artists such as Shatta Wale, Kuami Eugene, and Kofi Kinaata. Despite the inclement weather, the crowd remained enthralled, singing along to Sarkodie’s chart-topping hits.
Shatta Wale’s surprise appearance was a highlight of the evening, as he joined Sarkodie on stage, showcasing a moment of unity and mutual admiration between the two artists. This moment was particularly significant given their past differences.
Fans are eagerly anticipating the next installment of Rapperholic, with many expressing their enthusiasm on social media. The event’s success has raised the bar for future concerts in Kumasi.
Sarkodie received a warm welcome from the Ashanti kingdom, particularly from Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, the Asantehene. During a courtesy visit to the Manhyia Palace, Sarkodie formally informed the Asantehene about the concert and sought his royal blessing. Otumfuo not only granted his blessing but also expressed his intention to attend the concert, which added to the event’s cultural significance.
Sarkodie has received numerous awards and accolades for his contributions to Ghanaian music, and his humility and respect for his peers were evident during the concert, where he showed deep appreciation to Obrafour, a veteran Ghanaian rapper.
