I didn’t think my son will be very popular like this – Sarkodie’s Father speaks
Mr. Augustine Owusu Addo, father of Sarkodie, the boss of Sarkcess Music, has made some revelations about what he saw his child when he was young and why he chose the name Michael as his son’s English name.
Some parents name their children after a family member, a friend, or even role models or people they admire.
Mr. Owusu Addo revealed in a short interview with Max24 TV at 2020 Rapperholic that when Sarkodie was growing up as a boy, he had no idea he would be as great as he is today.
He also went on to say that he named his son Micheal after the late American pop star Micheal Jackson.
“As you know, Sarkodie’s real name is called Michael Owusu Addo. I was a very big fan of Michael Jackson so that’s how come I named him Michael. I didn’t know he was going to be great in music as he is now,” he told the host.
Mr. Owusu went on to say that he had no idea Sarkodie would become a musician, let alone a big one, and that he is now proud of how far he has come in the music industry.
“When he started, I actually asked him and he said it was just like a hobby but I realized he went on with it and now here he is. I am very happy and I pray he does even better.”
When asked about his favorite song from his son, he mentioned “Brighter Day” which featured Obrafour.
