Apparently anybody successful is \u2018Illuminati\u2019, one way or the other. That\u2019s sad. Well Sarkodie couldn\u2019t keep his mouth shut when the \u2018Illuminati\u2019 was put on him.<\/p>\n<p>He did a song to redeem himself off the accusations. As they say, you can\u2019t please nobody, a fan posted this notes below as to why it was a bad idea for Sarkodie to release a song like that and moreover make an album art depicting what he claims he\u2019s not.<\/p>\n<p>Read below what he had to say: <em>As many of us predicted, the content of the song was going to be nothing new that we weren\u2019t expecting. I mean this was totally unnecessary to begin with because on the track, all he did was deny the rumours like it was expected so I wasn\u2019t thrilled. If he continues to exploit the symbols and ideologies, people will keep believing and saying it, so it\u2019s just a matter of actions not words. Stop flashing the \u2018devil horns\u2019 and wearing those triangles and pyramids like he did in the recent \u2018Devio\u2019 video etc. That\u2019s what will make you believable not songs. You can put out a million track(s) denying it and it wouldn\u2019t make a difference if your actions don\u2019t change. Moreover, the hype he put into this song just further promoted Illuminati images. Why was it so important to use the organizations logos and imagery? He just further made it cool for these young followers to rock that by printing it on t-shirts or even using as a profile pictures online, and that will further promote it. Not mentioning the fact that the image is attached to the free download file which many may not know how to delete, so they will keep seeing it on the screens of their players. And further numb their brains to such disturbing images. I feel it was bad idea in general because critical thinkers might even think you are rather promoting the fraternity. He could have said this in an interview and then further stop associating himself to these imagery and symbolism. Sarkodie must be aware that actions speak louder than words. That\u2019s what\u2019s needed. We have nothing against listening to the song because there\u2019s nothing bad about it and in fact, the track is nice too. Our only concern is the efforts surrounding its release and the fact that it wasn\u2019t necessary in the first place.
