Nine months after his studio session with Sarkodie went viral, Safo Newman has revealed that the meeting was musically unproductive.
The duo met at Sarkodie’s studio in February 2024 after Safo Newman expressed a desire to personally thank the rapper for his acknowledgment.
Recalling the moment, Safo shared, “Sarkodie tweeted that I was original, liked my style, and looked forward to working with me. I was grateful and thanked him in his DM, but I felt it wasn’t enough. So, I asked if I could meet him personally to express my appreciation.”
Following their meeting, rumors spread that they had recorded an industry-changing banger set to be released later this year.
However, in a recent interview on Hitz FM, Safo disappointed anticipating fans by stating that no collaboration of that sort was ever recorded. He emphatically clarified that their meeting was purely conversational, and “nothing happened” in terms of music.
When asked if his denial was to please Sarkodie, who is known for his strict policy of keeping collaborations under wraps until official announcements, Safo Newman reiterated that there is no unreleased project being held back.
Obviously disappointed, the ‘Akokoa’ hitmaker remains optimistic that, at the right time, Sarkodie will bless him withith a verse.
Budding musician, Safo Newman has opened up about his unconventional path into the teaching profession.
Despite not being a trained educator, Safo’s transition into teaching was born out of necessity after struggling to secure a job in his field of study.
As a graduate of Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) with a degree in Construction Technology and Management, he initially envisioned a career in the construction industry. However, he revealed in an interview on Hitz FM that after his national service, he made numerous attempts to secure a job, all of which proved futile.
It was then the Cosmos Basic School in Lapaz became his savior when he was offered a job as a career technology (formerly pre-tech skills) teacher.
He humorously revealed it is a smooth experience and the pupils regard him in spite of his smallish stature.
According to him, the job sustained him and transformed his living condition in Accra.
Safo Newman is a graduate of T.I. Ahmadiyya Senior High School (TI Amass), where he was a senior to now-renowned musician Gyakie.
Despite the challenges, his journey into teaching has allowed him to contribute meaningfully to shaping young minds while navigating his own professional path.
