The highly anticipated Rapperholic concert, headlined by Ghanaian music sensation Sarkodie, took place at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi last night, September 27, 2025
Despite initial concerns about potential damage to the pitch, Sarkodie and his team respected the agreement to keep off the field.
This decision was made after the Director General of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Yaw Ampofo Ankrah, confirmed that Sarkodie, would not use the pitch for his concert.
The decision to allow Sarkodie to hold his concert at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium sparked controversy among football fans.
Many were upset that the stadium, which is a crucial venue for Ghana’s top football clubs, Asante Kotoko and Bibiani Goldstars, would be used for a concert.
The concern was not only about the potential damage to the pitch but also about the prioritization of sports over other events.

Despite the criticism, Sarkodie and his team adhered to the agreement, ensuring that the pitch remained untouched.
This move was seen as a sign of respect for the stadium and its primary purpose as a sports venue.
The concert, which took place amidst heavy rain, was still a success, with the crowd showing their support for Sarkodie.
The heavy rain that poured down in Kumasi for over 6 hours in the evening did not dampen the spirits of the concert-goers.
Despite the challenging weather conditions, the event was well-organized, and Sarkodie’s performance was well-received by the audience.
Sarkodie’s Rapperholic concert at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium was a success, thanks in part to the respect shown for the agreement to keep off the pitch.
The event demonstrated that with careful planning and adherence to agreements, it’s possible to host large-scale events without compromising the integrity of sports venues
