Organiser of the Global Blueprint Excellence Awards, Kwame Owusu Fordjour, who is widely known as Dr. UN, has asserted that he played a part in boosting Sarkodie's popularity in the country.

According to him, Sarkodie's fame in Ghana experienced a surge after his infamous UN award garnered significant attention, particularly when it became clear that the award scheme was not authentic.

Dr. UN, the organiser of the Global Blueprint Excellence Awards, also stated that he has had several interactions with Sarkodie after the event.

He emphasised that their relationship has not been as contentious as some people may perceive it to be.

“I have met Sarkodie several times after the awards; he is my fan. Do you know that I made him Sarkodie? His previous branding was not good enough. If it was not me, why does he trend with the awards?

“I made him trend all the time. After his issue with Yvonne Nelson, he was not popular until he used my trend and that is where the money is.

"Why is it that after my award, which was held three years ago, anytime the media interviews him, they hammer on my award?” he said in a video shared by Express GHTV on their Youtube channel.

When he was asked for his take on Sarkodie’s issue with Yvonne Nelson and what he makes of it, he said, “Sarkodie did not show responsibility as a man. In such situations, you have to man up and accept it whether you have money or not. Leaving her (Yvonne Nelson) to go through that trauma was not the best.”

Earlier in 2020, social media went wild after the likes of Sarkodie, D-Black, Berla Mundi, members of the academia, and some politicians fell for his fake UN award scam.
