Dr UN Dismisses Sarkodie’s Grammy Chances, Labels Him as a Local Twi Artist

In a recent contentious statement, Dr UN, a self-proclaimed international diplomat and PhD holder, has criticized Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie, questioning his career decisions and language preferences.

During an interview, Dr UN asserted that his extensive experience and accomplishments in international interventions and global outreach far exceed Sarkodie’s contributions to the music industry.

“I am a PhD holder who has crossed many borders and worked on many international interventions that Sarkodie has not reached,” he stated.

Dr. UN went on to criticize Sarkodie’s utilization of the Twi language in his music. He argued that this linguistic choice presents a major obstacle for the rapper in winning prestigious awards such as the Grammys.

“He is only a Ghanaian song twister, and he is not winning GRAMMY awards because he doesn’t use the universal language,” Dr UN added.

This comment has triggered a passionate discussion among fans and experts in the industry. Numerous individuals have turned to social media to support Sarkodie, emphasizing his efforts in promoting Ghanaian music worldwide despite linguistic challenges. Advocates contend that music surpasses language barriers and assert that Sarkodie’s utilization of Twi contributes to the distinctiveness and genuineness of his artistry.
