Sarkodie to Perform at the 2024 Olympics

DJ Mensah, the official disc jockey for Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie, has disclosed that the musician has been billed to perform at the 2024 Olympics in France. This announcement was made during an interview on Asaase Radio, where DJ Mensah detailed some of the activities lined up for the year.

"With me and Sarkodie, we have some few shows. We haven't announced it yet but we are playing at the Olympics opening somewhere in August and also there is an event that we have to attend in the US. And I have another show Ghana Fest in Canada which is just like Ghana Party in the Park," he said.

However, DJ Mensah later clarified on X that Sarkodie's performance would not take place during the opening ceremony as initially stated but at an event held during the Olympic period.

"Let me clarify this before I’m misinterpreted: There “MIGHT” be an event in Paris around the same time the Olympics is happening, but it's NOT during the opening ceremony. This is to provide more clarification on what is circulating," he wrote.

The opening ceremony of the Olympics is scheduled for July 26, 2024, in Paris, France, with the closing ceremony set for August 11, 2024. The opening proceedings will feature an artistic program showcasing the host country and city's culture, a parade of athletes, and the lighting of the Olympic cauldron.

Sarkodie is one of Ghana's topmost artists with significant international appeal. Known for his electrifying stagecraft, his performance at the Olympics will be a milestone in Ghanaian entertainment and pop culture history.

The 'Highest' rapper continues to make a substantial impact on the global music stage. His recent feature on the 2024 Hennessy Africa Cypher has further enhanced his artistry and reputation in the music industry.
