Mrs. Tracy Owusu Addo, wife of Rapper Sarkodie has revealed how their love story began.
In an interview on TV3 which was monitored by The Chronicle, Tracy explained that Sarkodie was her neighbour in Tema, a suburb of Accra. During that period, she said Sarkodie liked her but could not tell her. The popular Ghanaian rapper instead told Tracy’s cousin to inform her about his affection.
The unnamed cousin of Tracy informed her about Sarkodie’s ‘like’ for her but she remained undecided as she travelled to Germany at age 13.
After three years of being in Germany, Tracy Sarkcess returned to Ghana and reconnected with Sarkodie. She suggested that her return marked the starting point of their love story.
“To be honest I didn’t see how big Sarkodie was going to become. In my mind, I thought oh maybe at some point I will be able to convince him to come along with me to Germany and he should have a job, let’s work and have our kids. I wasn’t sure about the music.”
“We have known each other for quite a long time. Before I left for Germany, we lived in the same neighbourhood. So he’s a childhood friend and I know he liked me. He couldn’t tell me. He told my cousin who was living with us that she should come and tell me. It was towards the end when I was about to leave for Germany that she told me” Tracy added.
“But at that point was like I don’t know. So I came back. It was actually on a holiday. I had been away for three years. That was the first time that I came back and weirdly enough we reconnected as friends and then ever since then,” Tracy Sarkcess said.
