Hiplife musician Sarkodie was among over 20 Ghanaian artistes across all genres who have voiced support for the constitutional right to protest.
They have also slammed police highhandedness during Day 1 (September 21) of the #OccupyJulorbiHouse protests by the Democracy Hub, a group of young activists.
Social media users, especially on Twitter (now X) repeatedly called on artistes to lend their support to the cause tweeting at them and tagging them.
As the number of artistes tweeting their support grew, Sarkodie's was keenly awaited, seeing that he is affiliated to the ruling New Patriotic Party.
"You can only be scared of a peaceful protest when you know you deserve otherwise…" the award-winning rapper tweeted late Thursday.
That turned out to be the trigger for the start of full-scale bombardment of his post, with tweeps asking what exactly his tweet meant.
Others said he would have released a track if his government was in opposition whiles for others, it was to mock the artiste with the claim that he had been forced to tweet 'nonsense.'
In the midst of all the backlash, his die-hard fans replied some of the critics, stating that they wanted Sark to speak, yet he does and they are still dissatisfied.
