Nabil Alhassan and Gyakie
Sarkodie’s Rapperholic Homecoming Organiser, Nabil Alhassan, has explained songstress Gyakie’s absence on stage during the event which took place at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on September 27, 2025.
Explaining the situation on Joy FM’s Showbiz A-Z with Kwame Dadzie, Nabil cited weather conditions as a significant factor that disrupted the programme’s flow and performance schedule.
“Gyakie was supposed to perform before Sarkodie took the stage. She was present, but due to the rain, attendees were scrambling for shelter. When she arrived, she faced considerable challenges just to enter the stadium. I witnessed her struggle to get in,” he shared.
Nabil further elaborated that a shift in plans became necessary after Sarkodie opted to proceed with his performance despite the weather-related hiccups. “It would have been easier if Sarkodie had a collaboration with her. He got tired of waiting and wanted to start the show since everyone was eager to see him. We didn’t have time to coordinate who should perform at what time,” he explained.
According to Nabil, Sarkodie began his set with songs featuring other artistes present at the event, complicating the possibility of including Gyakie in the lineup.
“He doesn’t have a song with Gyakie, so there wasn’t an opportunity to slot her in. If they had collaborated, it would have been much simpler,” he added.
The Rapperholic Homecoming concert, part of Sarkodie’s 2025 Rapperholic series, showcased a star-studded lineup that included Shatta Wale, Obrafuor, Reggie Rockstone, Kweku Smoke, Medikal, and many others. Despite the rain causing logistical challenges, thousands of fans filled the stadium to witness one of Ghana’s most anticipated music events.
