In an interview with Ghanaian talk show host and satirist Kwaku Sintim-Misa (KSM), rapper Sarkodie, born Michael Owusu Addo, explained why he chose the stage name “Sarkodie.” He revealed that the name represented success to him. Growing up, he noticed that most of his father’s friends who bore that name were wealthy, which made him believe adopting it could attract prosperity in his music career. Sarkodie later reaffirmed this in a discussion with fellow Ghanaian rapper M.anifest.
