Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, has set the internet alight after declaring his interest in running for president.
Sarkodie, in a post on social media on Thursday, July 23, 2020, shared photos of himself dressed in a black kaftan-like shirt over a pair of striped material trousers.
“Presidential candidate 2024 Anaa mo se?” which translates to “Presidential Candidate 2020 or what do you say?“
The post has triggered reactions on social media, with many of the award-winning rapper’s fans already declaring their support for him.
Considered by many to be the biggest influence in Ghanaian hip-life, Sarkodie wields a massive influence through music, but it’s not certain if he could pull off the stunt of becoming president
Starting right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif announced on social media that he wouldn’t be returning for the 2020 NFL season due to COVID-19.
The 2020 NFL season was initially suspended due to the widespread COVID-19 pandemic, but it’s reported that the league is looking to kick-off sooner than expected. While there have been a number of reported coronavirus cases among NFL players, the league seems to been pushing forward, regardless. Days ago, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson publicly expressed concern on social media about returning to the field in the middle of a pandemic with a then-pregnant wife, and now it’s being reported that the Kansas City Chiefs starting right guard Laurent Duvernay-Tardif has decided to opt-out of the current season.

The professional football player wrote a lengthy message that he shared on social media about his decision to bow out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19, making him the first player to do so. Duvernay-Tardif has three more years remaining on his contract and was set to earn a base salary of $2.75 million.
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST DIFFICULT DECISIONS I HAVE HAD TO MAKE IN MY LIFE BUT I MUST FOLLOW MY CONVICTIONS AND DO WHAT I BELIEVE IS RIGHT FOR ME PERSONALLY. THAT IS WHY I HAVE DECIDED TO TAKE THE OPT-OUT OPTION NEGOTIATED BY THE LEAGUE AND THE NFLPA AND OFFICIALLY OPT OUT OF THE 2020 NFL SEASON.
BEING AT THE FRONTLINE DURING THIS OFFSEASON HAS GIVEN ME A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE ON THIS PANDEMIC AND THE STRESS IT PUTS ON INDIVIDUALS IN OUR HEALTHCARE SYSTEM. I CANNOT ALLOW MYSELF TO POTENTIALLY TRANSMIT THE VIRUS IN OUR COMMUNITIES SIMPLY TO PLAY THE SPORT THAT I LOVE. IF I AM TO TAKE RISKS, I WILL DO IT CARING FOR PATIENTS.
I WANT TO THANK EVERYONE IN THE KANSAS CITY CHIEFS ORGANIZATION FOR THEIR SUPPORT AND UNDERSTANDING.

The 22-year-old artist chatted with MTV’s Fresh Out Live about his new single and shared that he’s readying a new album titled Cool Tape Volume 3.
I kinda, you know, pulled this from some real-life experiences and also kinda dreamed it up in my head a little bit, cause I like to create stories around my music,” he said. “That’s kinda what the story of it is, and I’m really excited about it. I’m hoping that people can relate to it as well with having that person that you wanna see and then feeling like the whole world is stopping you from seeing them…literally.”

“It’s completing the trilogy of the Cool Tape Volume 3’s and then it’s also kinda completing the trilogies of Syre and Erys at the same time.
