Sarkodie’s recent Instagram post has sparked a heated debate on social media.
On January 8, 2025, the rapper shared a story on Instagram that simply read, “Back to gari soakings like we never left.”
Although the post lacked context, many interpreted the comment as a reaction to President John Dramani Mahama’s return to office on January 7, following his victory in the 2024 general elections.
Sarkodie has previously been vocal about his dissatisfaction with Mahama’s administration from 2013 to 2016, often expressing his grievances through his music.
However, the rapper’s relative ‘silence’ during the Akufo-Addo/Bawumia administration (2017-2024) led some to speculate that he had aligned himself with the NPP.
Currently, his latest post has triggered a mix of reactions, with some critics accusing him of hypocrisy, while others have threatened to withdraw their support for his craft.
Despite the backlash, many of his fans have defended the rapper, arguing that the post was not a political commentary but rather a light-hearted reflection on life’s simplicities.
