The 2026 edition of Rapperholic x MoMoFest has been described as historic and bigger than just a concert.
The mega-scale musical collaboration took place on Saturday, October 24, 2026, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi, merging two massive Ghanaian entertainment powerhouses: MTN Mobile Money’s tech-entertainment platform, MoMoFest, and Sarkodie’s flagship annual rap concert, Rapperholic.
Moving away from its traditional December slot in Accra, Sarkodie brought the 2026 edition to the Ashanti Region for a massive homecoming experience that successfully combined music, culture and digital finance.
In a post on X, Sarkodie said Rapperholic is bigger than a concert as it stimulates economic activity across Kumasi, Accra and the wider Ghanaian economy.
“Rapperholic is bigger than a concert. It stimulates economic activity across Kumasi, Accra and the wider Ghanaian economy through tourism, hospitality, transportation, food, fashion, media, advertising, employment and the creative supply chain,” he wrote.
He noted that the economic value of the concert extends far beyond ticket sales to include visitor spending, revenue for local businesses, temporary jobs created, suppliers paid, and future tourism and commercial opportunities.
He further expressed gratitude to government and the private sector, saying the opportunity is to build an ecosystem where Ghanaian entertainment generates measurable economic value, supports businesses, creates jobs and attracts visitors.
“And now, to the reason why I still keep going… MY SARKNATION!!! I don’t even have the words for you guys! What have I done to deserve the amount of work you put in to make this show happen? I honestly don’t have the words to express how I feel. Even before I intensified my PR efforts, you guys were already on the ground and online, promoting the hell out of this event! You proved that this event is just as much yours as it is mine, and that means everything to me. My love to each and every one of you. A BIG THANK YOU!
“To all the content creators and public figures who used their clout to promote #RapperholicKumasi26, I see you all! Big shouts to each and every one of you. I appreciate the love and support!” he added.
