Ghana’s biggest music export in recent times, Michael Owusu Addo also known as Sarkodie has shown remorse and apologized to legendary Ivorian musician Freddy Meiway.
Sarkodie’s apology comes barely an hour after the Zoblazo hit maker in an interview on Joy FM revealed that the Ghanaian music icon disrespected him by not responding to a song request after initial communication.
According to Meiway, “as much as he loves rapper Sarkodie, he feels the Ghanaian artiste has been very disrespectful to him.”
“I have respect for the old ones, Kojo Antwi, Amakye Dede, Amandzeba, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley, Osibisa, several of them but the new generation, I know a few names, Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy. I know another [one] but I don’t want to talk about him, his name starts by S but he [doesn’t] have respect for the old man,” Meiway said.
Sarkodie, who felt remorseful for the act immediately sent out a number of tweets apologizing and explaining situations hoping the legendary act would forgive him.

Sometimes it happens but my wrong was not keeping him updated and always wanting the perfect time to get what I needed for the record
