Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie‘s manager, Angel Town, has recounted his first experience with the musician and their long-standing relationship.
In an interview on the Stay By Plan podcast shared on X on October 3, 2025, Angel Town, popularly known as Angelo, noted that his first interaction with the rapper was when Sarkodie was in Senior High School.
Angelo explained that the rapper looked like a refugee when he first set eyes on him, adding that Sarkodie resembled a troublemaker.
“We have been friends. I mean, we have been friends since he was probably in his first year of Senior High School. He would always run away from school and come to sit in front of my mom’s house.

“That’s where our friendship actually started. The very first day I met him, he looked very skinny, like a refugee. He looked really, really hungry,” he said.
Angelo further shared how he fell in love with Sarkodie‘s lyrical flow and the rapper’s eagerness to succeed in the music industry.
“… he was walking past, somebody said, but this Liberian boy, I hear, is a rapper. So it was just a comment. I looked at the guy, and he actually looked like it. So I was like, yo, what’s up? I heard you are a rapper. He said Oh yeah… before I could say drop something, he was already into it.
“And that was everything for me. The next day, I went to look for his house. That’s what ignited everything. I mean, we became like very, very good friends from there. There’s no passing day that we don’t see each other. It was almost like we were dating.”
The artiste manager also recounted how his journey with Sarkodie into fame began.

According to him, he has been a number one fan of the “Non Living Thing” singer and genuinely wanted him to succeed in the music industry.
“I just knew that I wanted to be a part of it. I wanted to fuck with it. I genuinely wanted to see him be very big. And that’s just the same type of energy I have towards everybody or anybody I’ve ever extended a helping hand to,” he added.
