Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, has admitted to being an introvert, corroborating many reports that he is not sociable.

Engaging host Angela Yee in an interview on Way Up, Sarkodie revealed that his "laid back" behaviour stems from the difficulty he faced during his childhood.

According to the rapper born, Michael Owusu Addo, he had to stay with an individual whose identity he failed to disclose as he had no idea about the whereabouts of his parents.

During his stay with the said person, Sarkodie said he faced lost of challenges with did not provide him "the best experience" while growing up.

"I had to live with somebody when I went through serious hardship. It was a tough beginning. I didn't know where mum and dad was. I was staying with this person and I had to go throw serious hardship," he recounted without so much details.

For him, this difficulty "created the laid back" personality where he would prefer to "watching stuff and not getting involved too much and watching life from this perspective."

He however holds no grudge. According to Sarkodie, "they didn't know better at that time." Nonetheless, "it doesn't take away the fact that it happened," he quickly added.

Every cloud has a silver lining and Sarkodie's life proves that.

The rapper noted that during such challenging times, he developed the skill of writing which eventually turned into music.

"That's where I developed writing and it turned into music. Cos I needed a way to speak about the way I was feeling. I was too much a friend-clique type of person. It was a good therapy for me," he added.
