Sarkodie is not an extraordinary performer like Black Sherif – Pundit Sally Mann-Frimpong

During the recently held VGMAs, entertainment commentator Sally Mann-Frimpong discussed the stage charisma and crowd appeal of Ghanaian music Landlord Sarkodie and the newest phenomenon, Black Sherif.

Sally, who co-hosted a discussion on Showbiz 927 on 3FM with Caleb Nii Boye, was unambiguous about Sarkodie's crowd- and stage-managing abilities but thought Black Sherif was a better performer overall.

She pointed out Sarkodie's extraordinary knack for enthralling audiences and winning their respect, even if she acknowledged that he would not be considered a brilliant performer in the traditional sense.

"In my opinion, Sarkodie is not a particularly talented performer, but the difference is that he has a knack for getting the crowd going. He is adept at influencing the audience. I believe he has  an aura around him that commands get up when you see him,” she submitted.

Comparing him to fellow artist Black Sherif, Frimpong highlighted the contrasting styles between the two performers and announced the ‘Kweku Killer’ as the better performer of the two.







“When you see the energies of the two of them, I am talking about Black and Sarkodie, Blacko is a performer,” she indicated.




Frimpong humorously questioned whether Sarkodie possesses some form of mystical powers or “juju” that compels everyone to rise and acknowledge his presence.




“Sark is so decorated, I am coming look at me he comes in and everyone wants to get up. I don’t know if it’s juju or whatever and everyone gets up, the landlord is here,” she humorously posited.




She further observed that the BET Award winner’s ability to command the crowd speaks volumes about his influence and star power.







“He is not someone to rate as a great performer but he’s someone who is able to move the crowd and bring respect to himself,” she added.
