Of course that was an obvious fraudulent claim and to think that some people actually fell for it is pathetic. Sarkodie, though one of the most commercially successful Ghanaian musicians, cannot even boast of $90,000 sitting in his bank account—let alone to spend that on a single music video.
But this is Ghana, people say whatever they want and only a few have the sense and ability to ask the needed questions. The media is pretty useless in the sense that, we also buy into whatever it is that is thrown at us and we do not go beyond claims to establish the truth.
Politicians and celebrities lie each day and they get away with it. But it seems certain people are still not happy about the exaggerated claim by Sarkodie—we mean, his claim that he sent $90,000 on his ‘Illuminati’ music video a few years ago.
