Sometimes in debates, someone would make the argument that looking at the sheer incredulity of a scenario, it must not have occurred because ‘nobody would be that stupid’!
Certainly this argument should apply to the Sarkodie case then, because for him to have knowingly told this lie would require him believing some incredibly shallow propositions that an artist of his calibre should not believe.
In summation, Sarkodie displayed the mental capacity that a primary school student should be embarrassed to display.
Let’s look at what we have to assume to believe that Sarkodie made this statement and believed there would be no repercussions, and realise the sheer absurdity of the entire situation.
And please, don’t fall prey to the ‘nobody would be that stupid’ defence. This looks very bad, but from what we know there can be no other explanation for Sarkodie’s actions.
–Sarkodie must have thought Ace Hood, or nobody close to him or who has any relation to him, uses the internet…..
Well, because there can be no other explanation for him making those comments on Starr FM, in this modern world of new media. When making those comments at least it must have passed through his mind that the story would fill the Ghanaian blogosphere the next day.
So we have to assume he must have known that, and still thought, ‘but Ace Hood and his people wouldn’t read Ghanaian media’. They wouldn’t go on twitter and Facebook and see these entirely incredibly boastful stories.
Seems incredibly unlikely, doesn’t it? But why else would he still have made these comments that would take two seconds to refute?
-Sarkodie Must Have Thought The Few Seconds Of Gratification Was Worth The Chance To Establish Himself On The World Stage
As we can see from the last point, it was an incredibly vacuous assumption on the part of Sarkodie that Ace Hood and his people wouldn’t realise the deception and nip it in the bud.
Why would anyone lie, except due to some self serving motive. This was a genuine chance for Sarkodie to establish himself in the world’s biggest music industry. Despite a few BET award nominations we know mainstream America doesn’t give two f**ks about some artiste from Ghana. A collaboration with Ace Hood might be a chance to start a little infiltration of that market.
Instead he decided making people think he got the call and not the other way round would change something. He must have decided that the few seconds’ gratification of making the world believe what he wanted them to believe was worth the genuine chance of cracking a world market. Because frankly that deception was not going to hold longer than it takes anyone to type 140 characters on twitter.
