Popular Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has opened up about life beyond the spotlight. He revealed how he balances fatherhood with the demands of his music career.
Despite his busy schedule, the rapper says he makes time for his children whenever possible and takes pride in being involved in their everyday routines. Speaking to DJ Adu during a BBC interview on June 28, 2026, Sarkodie revealed that one of his favourite responsibilities is helping to get them ready for school.
“I help the kids take their shower in the morning and my wife corrects me all the time. Only if I can, I wake up early in the morning and get them ready. I love dressing them up, telling them about having a great day. When they return from school, they would narrate what happened,” he disclosed.
Sarkodie indicated that spending quality time with his children remains a priority, even when work takes him away from home. He explained that he often arranges for them to join him wherever he is before they all head home together.

“Even when I’m somewhere, the driver drops them off with me and maybe, we go home later. That’s the life that I have enjoyed and this is like a perfect scenario for me,” he stated.
Aside from being present in their lives, the rapper believes children should be encouraged to become independent. While he is committed to providing for them, he said he intentionally resists solving every problem they encounter so they can learn valuable life skills.
“When you have your kids, you want to be able to provide everything, but also, I want them to learn too, so sometimes you pretend that you don’t know what they’re asking you to do. I let them try to figure some things out for themselves, which I sometimes feel bad about, but I had to psyche my mind that they have to do it,” the Sarkcess Music boss said.
Sarkodie also admitted that he initially tried to shield his children from the harsher realities of life, but later realised that approach could do more harm than good. As a result, he has deliberately introduced them to ordinary experiences that many children encounter while growing up.
“In the beginning, I protected everything so they don’t get to see what reality is, which is very dangerous for the kids. Imagine me allowing my children to go on a public bus. That will be the scariest time of my life, but I had to do it,” he further stated.
