Ghanaian rapper Michael Owusu Addo, known as Sarkodie, will bring his Rapperholic Concert to Kumasi on September 27, 2025. The artist plans to hold the event at Baba Yara Sports Stadium for the first time in the Ashanti Region. Sarkodie visited Manhyia Palace on Friday to request approval from Asantehene Otumfuo Osei Tutu II. The musician told the king he had spent nearly twelve years developing this vision. The Asantehene granted his blessing and promised to attend the performance personally.
The concert timing creates potential conflicts with Asante Kotoko football fixtures at the same venue. The club uses Baba Yara Stadium for CAF Confederation Cup matches and domestic competitions. Stadium scheduling concerns have emerged due to overlapping events within weeks of each other. The National Sports Authority will likely establish protective measures for the playing field. These precautions aim to preserve the surface quality for both entertainment and sporting activities.
