Hip-hop and hiplife musician Sarkodie has finally broken his silence on the coronavirus outbreak in Ghana. According to Sarkodie, the world and his country Ghana did not take the Coronavirus seriously from the beginning and because of that, it is getting intense.

The rapper who is currently ‘trapped’ in the United States due to the pandemic took to his Instagram page to advise his fans to take precautions and treat the pandemic with all seriousness.

He was addressing his fans through Instagram live video on Thursday, March 19, when he made this statement.

“Obviously, you guys know that we are in serious times with this coronavirus thing,” he said. “In the beginning, we didn’t take it seriously. I think it’s getting intense.”

He urged his fans to take precautions and follow the directives from the government, adding that his ‘heart goes out to all the people who have lost their families’ due to the virus.

“I would like to urge everyone to take precautions very seriously. Let’s stay safe. My heart goes out to those who have lost their family and God bless their soul.”

The “Oofeetso” hitmaker revealed how he has been forced to cancel his concerts and tours in the United States as a result of this pandemic.

“We need to take things seriously because I didn’t know I was going to cancel my tour. Obviously, I’m not going to be doing concerts anytime soon but I’ll keep the music coming through the internet. I’ve seen you guys tweeting about my whereabouts. I’m perfectly fine and doing well,” he added.
