He tweeted: \u201cSorry to fans in Dubai but I&#8217;m not performing&#8230; hopefully I make it next time.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Sarkodie\u2019s official dj, DJ Mensah, was extremely displeased with the actions of the organizers, commenting under Sarkodie\u2019s tweet: \u201cTotal disrespect- One Africa and we can\u2019t even live up to the name.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>There has been no official word from the organizers of the concert regarding the incident. <\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">Sorry to fans in Dubai but I&#8217;m not performing&#8230; hopefully I make it next time &#8230; ????????<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 HIGHEST ?
