In a thought-provoking post on his official X (formerly Twitter) page, celebrated Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie—born Michael Owusu Addo—has offered a philosophical perspective on life, legacy, and self-worth.

The multiple award-winning artist encouraged his followers to prioritize their own happiness and stop seeking validation from others, emphasizing the fleeting nature of life and the inevitable obscurity that time brings to every individual.

Sarkodie reflected on how many people today do not know the names of their grandparents, let alone their great-grandparents, suggesting that future generations will likely forget us as well. This, he noted, should be a freeing realization rather than a sad one.

“What’s your grandma’s father’s name? Pretty sure you don’t know and never think of him… that’s gonna be you someday,” he wrote.
“So live your life and stop worrying about what people think… enjoy every bit of it to the fullest! It’s a moving train—you not that special.”

The post has sparked widespread conversation, with many fans praising Sarkodie for his raw honesty and depth, a side rarely seen from entertainers at the peak of their careers.

His message serves as a poignant reminder to live authentically and cherish every moment without the burden of societal judgment.
