Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has addressed rumors circulating on social media that label him as a “stingy” celebrity who is unwilling to offer financial assistance.<\/p>\n
Speaking on the +444 podcast, shared on X on February 26, 2025, Sarkodie revealed that some of his relatives feel upset when he refuses to provide financial support, even when they believe it is necessary.<\/p>\n
He explained that he only extends financial help to people, including family members, if he finds their situation genuinely troubling.<\/p>\n
“I always say, ‘I will see what I can do’ when people ask me for money. I am very straightforward about that. My family keeps telling me that my ‘no’ is so firm that they feel offended,” he stated.<\/p>\n
“You can ask me for a thousand dollars, and I would say no, but you can ask for fifteen, and I will send it. It depends on what you say and what you need the money for. If I can\u2019t help, of course, I will tell you I can\u2019t do it,” he added.<\/p>\n
Sarkodie also recounted how he lost a friendship due to his refusal to offer financial help.<\/p>\n
“If someone is mad at you because of that, it means they were not meant to be in your life. There was an incident way back when I had no money. I was just starting my career, and after earning a little, I spent my last money on myself.<\/p>\n
“I had nothing left, but I knew I could go to the bank later. Then, a guy walked in and asked for money because he wanted to travel. I told him I didn\u2019t have any, but he refused to believe me. Since then, we have not been on talking terms,” he recounted.<\/p>\n
