Sarkodie and Tracy already had a daughter when they married. In July 2018, after years together, Ghana’s best-known rapper held a private kente ceremony in Tema and, four days later, a white wedding at the Labadi Beach Hotel.
Years in the making
Michael Owusu Addo, known as Sarkodie, and Tracy were together for years before the wedding, and their daughter Adalyn was already a familiar face to his fans. Tracy, often called Tracy Sarkcess after his label, Sarkcess Music, has since built a profile of her own.
Tema and Labadi
The traditional wedding was a private kente ceremony in Tema, most widely reported as Tuesday 17 July 2018. On Saturday 21 July the couple held their white wedding at the Labadi Beach Hotel in Accra, strictly by invitation. There was no livestream. The official photographs were released later that day and spread across Ghanaian and Nigerian media within hours.
For a rapper whose songs are full of detail about his life, the wedding was strikingly private. Sarkodie had said little about it in advance, and guests kept the day off their feeds until the photographs were out.
A year after Stonebwoy
The wedding came a year after Stonebwoy married Dr Louisa, and Ghanaian fans compared the two for weeks. WePostWeddings covered both in one piece as well as Sarkodie’s wedding on its own, linked below.
