According to well-known Ghanaian fashion designer Elikem Kumordzie, he declined to discreetly alert Sarkodie to the errors in his attire because the rapper is notorious for not returning messages.
He acknowledged that he has no relationship at all with the artist when he made these remarks.
Elikem’s comments are in response to the numerous criticisms he has received after it was claimed that he had shared a mocking post about Sarkodie earlier.
The tailor posted a photo of Sarkodie’s two-piece attire and pointed out certain areas that, in his expert opinion, were poorly made.
However, Elikem Kumordzie clarified the situation during a phone-in segment on United Showbiz on UTV monitored by Pak MediaGh
“I have never met Sarkodie either on a professional or a friendly level. Recently a lot has been said about him concerning ignoring features and refusing to respond to messages. I just put it out there in the spur of the moment. I didn’t even think of sending him a DM.”
Although he has apologized for the way he handled the issue, Elikem insists that his post about the rapper was blown out of proportion.
“I made this post about another designer three or four years ago and nobody said nothing. Now I have done the same to Sarkodie and it’s big deal. I’m guessing because it’s Sarkodie and the level of his success. I don’t know why this has become a big deal. That’s what overwhelms me,” he emphasized.
