Sarkodie

Africa’s most decorated rapper Sarkodie has taken time out to speak on his very first experience with racism and this happened during a family visit in Germany few years back.

In a long conversation into his life and career with DJ Vlad, Sarkodie gave a sad but interesting account on how he was racially abused by an immigration officer in an attempt to enter Germany with an Italian visa.

In his narration, the rapper said he was visiting his family and in as much as he did well to confirm with the immigration officer that entering the Germany with an Italian visa wasn’t illegal, the officer made a remark about Africans being poor before questioning how Sarkodie would take care of himself upon entering Germany.

Sarkodie said “There was a situation where I was going to visit my family in Germany and at the immigration, an officer pulled me aside for holding an Italian visa,  “I didn’t know it was a crime because it was a Schengen visa and I could go to anywhere in Europe”.

He continued: “He pulled me aside and questioned me about why am I using an Italian visa to enter Germany, and I asked if that was wrong. He said ‘no’ but wants to understand why, and I said ‘just because I wanna come to Germany’”. He continued.

Sark said more adding that he was told straight to his face that he didn’t deserve such privilege because Africans are poor.

“And he said straight to my face that ‘I know Africans are poor, so how are you going to take care of yourself while you are here?’”

He got furious after the officer made such statement.

“And that, I flipped; that one, I can’t take it. That’s stupid. That’s even racist, it’s just you being stupid. I had to put him right. I lost my cool.” Sarkodie revealed.

Sarkodie told DJ Vlad that the encounter made him more aware of racism from that moment on.

“From that they on, I had to pay attention to some certain things. I didn’t take things serious until that day.” he added.
