Sarkodie <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\nRapper Sarkodie has finally opened up on why he and many
\nother acts billed for Cardi B\u2019s concert, which took place at Accra Sports
\nStadium, failed to perform.<\/p>\n
According to him, organisers of Livespot X Festival got him booked at 8:pm for his performance, however, they failed to prepare the stage for him per the running order. <\/p>\n
The \u2018Highest\u2019 rapper explained to Andy Dosty that he had to decide if he had to leave or perform at the dying minute because his contract had \u201cexpired.\u201d<\/p>\n
SEE MORE: <\/strong><\/p>\n\u201cI can speak for myself because I went for sound check and I was again ready to perform my duty for my fans to see me but they gave me 8:pm and legally if you think about it, if its 12 or 1:am, we are in the following day.<\/p>\n
\u201cTo go into details I had to decide if I will do it or not. A similar thing happened in Dubai,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Sarkodie added that, \u201cI hate to be late to the airport or for sound check or anything. I don\u2019t joke with those things. The explanation should come from the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some Ghanaian and Nigerian artistes did not perform as advertised by organisers of the Livespot X Festival, which had Cardi B as headline act on December 8.<\/p>\n
Supporting acts included Sarkodie, Shatta Wale, Patoranking, Tiwa Savage and a host of others who were to perform before Cardi B finally climaxes the festival.<\/p>\n
Tiwa Savage and Patoranking were also backstage but did not perform after\u00a0Cardi B exited.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
