Rising star behind the viral hit “Akokoa,” Safo Newman has expressed his heartfelt desire to meet Ghanaian rapper Michael Owusu Addo known professionally as Sarkodie, acknowledging him as the catalyst behind the song’s widespread success.
In an exclusive interview with Graphic Showbiz, Newman revealed that Sarkodie’s duet and consistent promotion played a pivotal role in propelling “Akokoa” to fame, even though he believes he has produced other songs of equal or superior quality.
