Multiple-Award-winning Ghanaian rap icon Sarkodie has issued a sincere apology to his Detroit fans after he was unable to attend his highly-anticipated show.

This unexpected situation arose from a Delta Airlines flight’s emergency landing on an island in Portugal, creating an unexpected and challenging scenario for both Sarkodie and fellow passengers.

Sarkodie in a tweet expressed understanding, saying, “So I missed my event in Detroit due to @Delta doing an emergency landing on an island in Portugal yesterday. It was unfortunate, but I know these things happen, so I wasn’t tripping.” However, he did voice his disappointment in Delta’s communication during the ordeal, highlighting that they failed to provide updates on the situation.

The rapper revealed that he and fellow passengers endured an agonizing six-hour wait at the airport, all while the airline seemed to have a recurring issue when it came to flights departing from Africa. Sarkodie criticized Delta for sending what he described as “weak old flights” to pick up passengers, which he believed were not up to the safety standards necessary for long-haul journeys.

The situation escalated when it was revealed that the flight had almost landed on the ocean. Sarkodie expressed his gratitude to have touched down on the island safely, despite the nerve-wracking experience. However, he noted that Delta offered no compensation for the inconvenience, leaving passengers stranded with their belongings still on the island.

Sarkodie, in his Twitter post, showed restraint in his critique of Delta, stating, “Moving forward, I wouldn’t want to tarnish a business, but hopefully, they see to this problem and resolve it.” He concluded his tweet by extending a heartfelt apology to his fans in Detroit, assuring them that efforts were underway to make amends for the missed event.
