Award winning rapper, Sarkodie has always expressed his affection for children and in an interview with Deloris Frimpong Manso popularly known as Delay in 2015, the 'Countryside' hitmaker revealed just how much he longed to have his own but was waiting for the right time.
In the said interview the two-time VGMA winner said even though he wanted to settle down but more importantly have children at the time, he was waiting for the appropriate time he could fully commit to his responsibilities as a father.
“I like babies, I like kids, I wish I could have a baby and the baby would never grow up and I could take care of the baby while she stays a baby.
“However, I have few things that I want to sort out. Like when it comes to music and the things that I have already started. I need to calm down with my life because marriage is more of commitment and I can’t be living my life just as I’m living now.
“I can choose to be wherever I want to be and do what I want to do as an entertainer but when you commit yourself, especially when you have a baby, I never want to miss a day in my child’s life. I want to walk my child and I always say she because I want a daughter,” he said.
In the said interview, Sarkodie showed a deep longing for fatherhood and his admiration for the joy and pride that come with raising children.
However, when Delay asked him if the said mother of his children will be an industry person, the Adonail hitmaker opposed the suggestion and firmly stated, “We can’t talk about that. I can say for a fact with you that I have never had anything to do with anyone on TV.”
Sarkodie’s interview with Delay on which he revealed that he has never had a thing to do with any person on TV has now become popular on social media following Yvonne Nelson’s disclosure in her newly launched book, “ I am not Yvonne Nelson” that she aborted pregnancy for the astute rapper in 2010.
Narrating the incident on pages 88-95 of Chapter eight titled “Abortion”,Yvonne said Sarkodie and his manager at the time accompanied her to a clinic at Mamprobi to get the foetus removed. That was after a failed attempt with pills recommended by a friend.
