"Enjoy the Journey": Sarkodie's Wise Words to Colleagues After Losing Artist of the Year Category to Black Sherif

The Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) is undoubtedly one of the most anticipated events in the Ghanaian music industry. The 24th edition of the awards show, held on Friday, May 6, 2023, was no exception. The ceremony saw many talented musicians gather to celebrate the growth and diversity of the Ghanaian music industry. Among these performers was Ghana's very own rapper, Sarkodie.

Although Sarkodie has been known to win multiple awards at the VGMA over the years, this year was different. He was nominated for several categories, including the coveted Artiste of the Year, which he ultimately lost to the fast-rising artist, Black Sherif. Despite losing out on the award, Sarkodie took to his Facebook page to offer some advice to his colleagues.

In his post, Sarkodie emphasized the importance of living in the moment and taking things slowly. He encouraged his fellow musicians to appreciate and savor every experience, be it a performance, activity, or any other moment. He urged them to embrace each moment fully and enjoy all that it has to offer.

Sarkodie's advice is particularly relevant in today's fast-paced world, where people are often rushing from one thing to another, barely taking the time to appreciate the things happening around them. In this age of instant gratification, it's essential to slow down and enjoy the journey rather than just focusing on the destination.

Sarkodie's words are particularly poignant in the context of the VGMA, where artists often focus more on winning awards than on the music itself. However, as Sarkodie notes, winning awards is just one part of the journey. The real joy lies in the music, the performances, and the experiences that come along the way.

Sarkodie's message is clear: It's important to slow down, take a step back, and appreciate the journey rather than just rushing towards the destination. Whether it's in music, life, or any other aspect of our lives, we must learn to enjoy the moment and savor the experience fully.

Lastly, the 24th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards was a resounding success, with deserving artists receiving well-deserved recognition. As we celebrate the achievements of these musicians, let's take a moment to appreciate Sarkodie's wise words and remember to enjoy the journey.
