Sarkodie Tell Fans “I’m Not Stingy, I Give Out Money When I Feel Like It”

The CEO of Sarkcess Music, Sarkodie, says he is not happy being captured on camera giving money to people.

According to him, a video/photo documentation of him dashing money to people reduces the respect he has for the receiver.

Speaking on a South African-based podcast, โ€˜PodcastAndChillโ€™ with MacG, he explained:

โ€œI hate when they have a camera on me and I have to give money to peopleโ€.

โ€œTo me, it means I do not respect youโ€ฆ Thatโ€™s how I see it,โ€ he continued.

He further explained that his personality as โ€˜Michaelโ€™ sometimes goes against what he [Sarkodie] is โ€œsupposed to doโ€ as a public figure.

According to him, the expectation from the public is not going to deter him from staying true to his personality, his standards, and choosing what his heart desires.

โ€œIf I have money for you and I want to give you money, there is a way that I have to do it. But funny enough, that [doing it for the camera] is what our people love โ€”and I am not ready to change because of that. It doesnโ€™t feel right to me. So it comes across that I am a stingy person,โ€ he stressed.

Sarkodie went on to state firmly that he is not going to be compelled to give money to his fans, especially when cameras are on him.

โ€œWhen I come out and I see cameras, and I have fans saying โ€˜hey we need money,โ€™ I am not going to do it โ€“ I am not going to be forced because you have cameras on me. I will sit in my car and go.โ€

โ€œAnd if I want to supportโ€ฆ I support people โ€” and thatโ€™s it for me because I like to support people โ€” and it feels good when I do it,โ€ he concluded.
