I sold out Apollo Theatre before Burna Boy – Sarkodie

During his ‘History In The Making’ gigs in New York, rapper Sarkodie claims to have sold out the Apollo Theatre in front of several African acts.

Ghanaians, he claims, don’t appreciate and cherish own memories sufficiently, so they spend their time focused on the accomplishments of others — a gesture he sees as threatening to the music industry’s progress.

In an interview with Daybreak Hitz, the rapper, who recently released his ‘No Pressure’ album, said he sold out the Apollo Theatre in 2015 before Nigeria’s Burna Boy, but Ghanaians don’t remember such things.

“We must seize and hang on to our opportunity. We do well, yet we prefer to compare ourselves to other countries. I recall selling out the Apollo Theatre, but according to BET, Burna Boy was the first Afrobeat musician to do so… Sarkodie told Andy Dosty, “So I accomplished it before him.”

“When Beyonce’s album was out, many websites claimed Burna Boy, Wizkid, and others… So, have a look at my tweet… I mentioned Shatta Wale and other amazing musicians… My main [priority] is my Ghanaian people… I appreciate my Nigerian artists, but my top [priority] is my Nigerian people… That way, you can readily capture people’s attention,” he explained.

Ghanaians, according to Sarkodie, should ponder on highlighting their major moments in the music field so that the rest of the world can catch up with them.

Sarkodie’s headline event, billed “History in the Making,” at New York’s Apollo Theater on August 8, 2015, was sold out.

To reward his followers for showing up in such large numbers, he created an official video called Sark Nation, in which he rapped over footage from the show.

The Importance of Intentionality in Social Media – Blogger Nathaniel Quaye Cautions Internet Users

Published

on

As a content creator and blogger, blogger Nathaniel Quaye understands the pressure that comes with trying to stay relevant on social media. In today’s world, the race for likes, shares, and views often takes priority over the message behind the content. But in his recent post, Nathaniel Quaye highlights a growing concern that has been on his mind. The rise of sensational, often graphic content being posted without regard for its impact.

“Many creators, in the pursuit of engagement, are posting disturbing content such as accident scenes or even graphic images without issuing any disclaimer or considering the emotional toll it might have on their audience,” he writes. “While these posts may get attention, I’ve come to realize that views without purpose are meaningless.”

Nathaniel Quaye firmly believes that social media platforms, though powerful, should be used with mindfulness and intentionality. The urge to post just anything for engagement can lead us down a path of meaningless content. But he argues that it’s far more valuable to post something meaningful, even if it reaches only a small group of people, than to share something sensational for the sake of likes.

“It’s better to get 20 likes for an exceptional post that speaks to the heart than to post just anything for the sake of engagement,” Nathaniel Quaye explains. “If we focus on what truly matters and stay true to ourselves, we can create content that leaves a lasting, positive impact.”

In his book “The Internet & You,” Nathaniel delves deeper into how content creators can navigate the digital space with responsibility and authenticity. He emphasizes that staying true to your values is crucial in today’s fast-paced digital world.
