Renowned rapper, Sarkodie has praised American-based Senegalese singer, Akon for contributing positively to the globalization of Afrobeats.
According to him, Akon never abandoned his African route but contributed to its recognition and acknowledged him for such an effort.
Sarkodie made the acknowledgement in an X Post on May 29 to commend Akon for contributing to the history of Africa.
“Big shouts to the legend, Akon, for what you did for Afrobeats!!! We can’t skip that in history,” he said.
Sarkodie noted many Africans who grew up in developed countries hardly look back to celebrate and develop things from their route.
”Few artists in their prime will look back and put their people on from the motherland! He did that in a big way! Of course, it’s been bigger and better since but we can’t ignore his contribution to the global dominance of afrobeats,” he tweeted.
