Sarkodie responds to backlash over “gari soakings” comment

Rap icon, Sarkodie, has responded to the online backlash following his recent Instagram story post about “returning to gari soakings.”

The “Happy Day” hitmaker, on January 8, 2025, posted on his Instagram story, “Back to gari soakings like we never left.”

This seemingly innocuous comment sparked a wave of reactions, with some interpreting it as a politically charged statement directed at the newly elected NDC administration.

Sarkodie addressed the criticism by sharing a video of a popular Ghanaian preacher, Rev. Obofuor, on his X account.

In the video, Rev. Obofuor emphasizes the importance of critical thinking and warns against relying on hearsay. “No wise person depends on hearsays, only fools do,” the preacher states in the video.

Sarkodie’s sharing of this video has been widely perceived as a subtle response to those who misconstrued his initial Instagram post.
