Hitherto, Ghanaian parents chose a profession for their children. They either imbibed in the child from the early stages of his/her life the profession they want their child to embark on or they shepherded the children from some professions they consider are for rascals; football, music, etc.
Sarkodie’s mother used to be against the Africa rap god’s career in the early stages of his son’s journey. Pharuk Jbreal, a close friend of Sarkodie revealed; “I happen to know Sarkodie before he became a big star and even have a songs with him, he hasn’t change in terms of character, he is not into drugs and lives quiet a decent life. It is obvious that his mum is proud of what her son has turned out to be. I have seen her at some of his events and it says it all. I can understand his mothers concerns at that time, there are quiet some disturbing stories about musicians out there and as a mother you can only be vigilant and look out for your child. Am sure sarkodie will one day get a degree or even go beyond that, education is not a race.”
It was further revaled that, Sarkodie’s mum went to Nana Fynn’s studio to warn him not to allow her son (Sarkodie) to his studio.
Whatever career or profession you believe in, do your best and make the best out of it because if you do well, you will be accepted.
