Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has opened up on the challenges he faces each time he prepares for his annual Rapperholic concert.
In an interview on YFM Kumasi on September 23, 2025, the rapper, who is set to stage his first Rapperholic concert in Kumasi, revealed that selecting which songs to perform is always a difficult task.
“One of the hardest things to do is to pick what song to perform. Because anytime there is rapperholic, we have the fans angry because they are not satisfied and are looking forward to a certain song.
“There are a lot of songs; it is a big catalog. If I try to perform every song, it is going to be hard. What I try to do is to show where I perform songs that we normally don’t,” he said.

Sarkodie further noted that although it’s tough to narrow down the list, his team is working to ensure that the final set list includes the favorites of fans.
“If you are not a fan of Sarkodie, you can’t say you haven’t heard ‘Can’t Let You Go’ and the other big songs. When we put such songs together, we have close to two hours.
He added that this year, his team, led by DJ Mensah, will be trying something different.
“This particular one, Mensah said we should put a list of songs we haven’t heard for a while. And we are getting feedback from the people and the songs they want to hear on stage,” he added.
