Sarkodie "declares his bank balance"
Rapper Sarkodie sparked considerable buzz on X after he humorously responded to a claim made by Bishop Samuel Owusu, a prominent pastor and head of Pottersville Church International.

Sarkodie, in light of this statement, candidly opened up his financial situation, saying that despite his considerable fame and the numerous gigs he has played since emerging onto the music scene, he has worked diligently to save only GH¢21,150.
This admission resonated with many young Ghanaians, highlighting the financial challenges that even successful artists face.
