Sarkodie didn't notice much racism growing up, due to his self-confidence. However, he described a racist encounter with an immigration officer while attempting to enter Germany with an Italian visa. Sarkodie was visiting his family and confirmed with the immigration officer that entering the country with an Italian visa wasn't illegal, but the officer made a remark about Africans being poor before questioning how Sarkodie would take care of himself. Sarkodie said the encounter made him more aware of racism from that moment on.
The rapper also detailed his rise as an artist. Sarkodie described coming in the battle scene and winning a major rap competition that got him noticed by fans and producers. Building off of reputation as a battle rapper and his online follower, Sarkodie released his first album in 2009 which made him a household name in his native country. Sarkodie also talked about rapping primarily in his native language and how he's able to connect with listeners even if they don't understand what he's saying.
