Sarkodie Shares Secret to Protecting His Peace Amid Online Drama
Ghanaian rap legend Sarkodie has opened up about how he manages to stay mentally balanced despite the constant waves of online criticism and social media chaos that come with fame.
In a thoughtful post shared on X (formerly Twitter) on Tuesday, October 15, 2025, the “Non Living Thing” crooner revealed that his peace of mind largely comes from being intentional about what he consumes online.
According to him, the secret lies in tuning out the noise and focusing only on things that truly matter.
“It’s crazy how I pick and choose where to channel my energy. I can go 10 years scrolling past ‘unnecessary’ stories, videos, etc., on social media without ever clicking to watch or read them. I only come online for what I’m truly interested in, try it, it’s beautiful,” he shared.
The rapper’s post came shortly after his electrifying Kumasi concert, which drew thousands of fans and featured performances from several top Ghanaian artists.
While the show earned widespread praise for its production and energy, it also sparked mixed reactions online, a typical occurrence for one of Ghana’s most talked-about entertainers.
Sarkodie’s message appeared to serve as a subtle response to the post-event noise, emphasizing the importance of guarding one’s mental space in an era dominated by online opinions.
For an artist who has spent over a decade at the top of Africa’s rap scene, his words resonate deeply. In an age where social media often amplifies negativity, Sarkodie’s philosophy of digital discipline stands out as both refreshing and instructive.
His post, simple yet profound, underscores a broader truth: sometimes, peace isn’t found by silencing others but by choosing what you give your attention to.
It’s crazy how I pick and choose where to channel my energy. I can go 10 years scrolling past ‘unnecessary’ stories, videos, etc., on social media without ever clicking to watch or read them. I only come online for what I’m truly interested in … try it it’s beautiful
