Sarkodie is a better stage performer than American rapper Lil Wayne - Andy Dosty
Hitz FM presenter Andy Dosty has sparked a debate by asserting that Ghanaian musician Sarkodie outshines American rapper Lil Wayne as a stage performer.
The comment comes amid recent controversy over Lil Wayne’s exclusion from the Super Bowl Halftime Show lineup, which has stirred discussions across the music industry.
Lil Wayne, the CEO of Young Money, has faced criticism following Jay-Z’s decision to replace him with Kendrick Lamar as the headliner for the upcoming Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans.
The choice has drawn backlash from several quarters, including from rapper Nicki Minaj, who has publicly voiced her discontent, given that Lil Wayne hails from New Orleans.
In light of the ongoing debate, Andy Dosty weighed in, suggesting that Sarkodie would have been a superior choice for the show compared to Lil Wayne. Dosty, who has witnessed Lil Wayne’s performances on multiple occasions, expressed disappointment with the rapper’s stage presence.
He described Lil Wayne’s live performances as underwhelming, noting that despite Wayne’s extraordinary talent and significant contributions to the music industry, his stage shows failed to impress him.
Andy Dosty highlighted that while Lil Wayne is a remarkable rapper and a significant figure in the music world, Sarkodie’s live performance skills surpass those of the American artist.
He emphasized that Sarkodie’s enthusiasm and delivery during live shows are superior, asserting that Lil Wayne’s performances, in his view, do not meet the high standards expected for major events like the Super Bowl Halftime Show.
Dosty’s comments have added a new dimension to the discussion about live performance quality, particularly in comparison to studio success.
His critique underscores a broader conversation about the elements that define a great live performance and how artists’ stage presence can impact their overall reputation.
“Lil Wayne won’t do jack, take my word. If they put Lil Wayne on that stage you won’t see anything extraordinary I’m telling you. I’ve seen him performing before and I didn’t see anything because I got home angry.”
“He’s a good rapper, great performing artist when it comes to record but on stage I wasn’t impressed even though he’s my favorite rappers or musicians in the world. Lil is not just a rapper but a complete musician but for performance I think Sarkodie is much better performer than Lil Wayne”

“He said performer oo he didn’t say Sarkodie is better rapper than lil Wayne. Is it because Wayne is an American so by all means he should be better in anything than our artists? No.”
