Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie has shared a frightening experience involving veteran highlife musician Amakye Dede following a serious road accident during a journey from Kumasi to Agogo.
In a video shared on social media, Sarkodie recounted how the vehicle transporting them collided head-on with another car before veering off the road into a nearby bush.
According to the rapper, Amakye Dede was seated in the front passenger seat, while he travelled in the back with the driver and his cameraman.
The musicians were travelling in a convoy, but the other vehicles were some distance behind when the accident occurred, leaving the four occupants to deal with the immediate aftermath before their companions arrived.
The crash attracted the attention of several bystanders who gathered around the damaged vehicle.

Sarkodie Shares Unusual Experience After Accident
Recounting the incident, Sarkodie highlighted an unexpected encounter with a woman who had alighted from a bus after noticing the accident.
Instead of asking whether he and the other occupants were safe or needed assistance, the woman reportedly approached him to request a selfie.
Sarkodie explained that the woman recognised him as a celebrity but appeared unconcerned about his condition following the frightening experience.
He said the encounter made him reflect on how some people see public figures primarily through their celebrity status rather than recognising them as ordinary human beings.
According to the rapper, people sometimes become so focused on meeting celebrities and taking photographs that they overlook their personal circumstances and emotional well-being.

The rapper’s account has sparked conversations about celebrity culture, public attention and the importance of showing empathy towards public figures, particularly during emergencies.
His experience also highlights the challenges musicians and other entertainment personalities face when dealing with unexpected situations in public.
The incident serves as a reminder that celebrities are human beings who deserve care, respect and concern, especially when involved in road accidents or other distressing circumstances.
