In a tweet on September 6, 2026, Sarkodie revealed that he nearly decided not to perform due to what he described as poor event management.
According to Ghana Web, Sarkodie stated that it was ultimately the enthusiasm and energy from his fans that convinced him to go ahead with his performance despite the challenges. The rapper emphasized the need for better planning by the event organizers, highlighting that he had to mentally prepare himself to perform under the circumstances.
Sarkodie shared his frustrations on social media, noting that he considered canceling his appearance at the event.
