According to reports on the internet, the French Embassy in Ghana received a letter from Yahaya Alhassan begging them to ban Sarkodie from performing at the 2018 Olympic Games.
This followed viral news that Sarkodie would perform at the Olympics’ opening ceremony, which DJ Mensah later clarified on Asaase Radio.
Yahaya Alhassan of the New Ghana Social Justice Forum sent the letter, which accused Sarkodie of misogyny.
Yahaya cited Sarkodie’s acts against actress Yvonne Nelson, as well as his subsequent comments to her, as the reasons for his removal from the performance schedule.
The French Embassy responded, explaining that Sarkodie was not slated to play at the Olympic Games’ opening ceremony.
Instead, Sarkodie is set to perform at the ‘African Fan Zone,’ known as ‘Station Afrique,’ on August 9, 2024. In its response, the French Embassy emphasized that the organizers of the 2024 Olympic Games are committed to human rights, gender equality, and women’s empowerment.
