Renowned Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has admitted his late lawyer may not have given her full backing to his newly released ‘Try me’ song if she was alive when it was released.
The prominent lawyer, Cynthia Quarcoo, who had served as a long-term counsel for Sarkodie, passed away on Wednesday, June 21 after a long illness.
Sarkodie, who is currently on tour in the United States of America, stated in an interview on Way Up Radio that his lawyer wouldn’t have endorsed his latest single if she was to be alive at the time it was released.
“In the heat of the moment, the person that I didn’t hear from which normally she would have been the first person to hit me is my lawyer.
“Early morning I was trying to tease her and I said, ‘Mama Cee, so don’t you care about what is happening because you would hit me up and say what are we doing but sad news is that she was dead at the same time’.”
According to him, he saw two ticks go on her phone and was expecting a reply in about five minutes which is usually the case with his lawyer but it took hours only for him to find out she was dead.
“She would have been somebody who I know wouldn’t have endorsed that situation of how I wanted to handle it but this to me, I think I will get to a point where I can speak freely about it because it’s still fresh that I still want to process it before I can really speak.”
‘Try me’ was released in response to a book ‘I Am Not Yvonne Nelson’ published by Ghanaian actress Yvonne Nelson. In the book she reveals having an abortion some years ago for the rapper after a failed relationship.
