Yes The event was officially announced and promoted as Rapperholic The Homecoming, and held at Baba Yara Sports Stadium, Kumasi on September 27, 2025. 
• Sarkodie and his team made preparatory efforts including:
• A peace float in Kumasi (Sept 24) to build hype and connect with fans. During the float, he sprayed bundles of cash to fans. 
• A visit to Otumfuo Osei Tutu II (Asantehene) to seek blessing for the concert. 
• There was concern by the National Sports Authority about preserving the pitch (grass field) at Baba Yara Stadium. Sarkodie committed that the stage setup would not encroach on the pitch; they would use stands / tartan tracks etc. 
• Sarkodie commented before the show that one of the hardest tasks is picking which songs to perform (given his large catalogue) and that he wanted to include some rarely-performed tracks plus fan favourites. 
What I couldn’t find yet
• Detailed attendance numbers (how many showed up, whether stadium was filled or partially so).
• Specifics about the performance itself (set list, standout moments, guest performances, any mishaps).
• Post-event fan feedback or reviews: how people felt about sound, stage, behaviour, value for money etc.
• Media or critic reviews of the concert.
• Whether there were logistical issues (parking, crowd control, ticketing) or major problems reported.

Criticism / Negative Reactions

• Security / crowd control issues: a few posts hinted at breakdowns in managing the crowd. 
• Value for money complaints: some felt ticket price didn’t match what was delivered (in terms of show length, artist lineups, sound) in certain segments. 
• A few posts were harsh: e.g. one Facebook post said, “Sarkodie’s Kumasi Rapperholic Show has been an unprecedented flop … bad planning and poor coordination.” 
• As for artist selection, some fans were disappointed by exclusion or absence of expected acts like Stonebwoy. 
• The surprise appearance by Shatta Wale stood out as a major talking point (positive) many said that was one of the high points of the night.
• While many praised the energy and spectacle, the criticisms tended to focus on execution rather than concept (i.e. how well crowd management, timing, and coordination were handled).
• The absence of certain artists (Stonebwoy, etc.) was a sore point; fans expressed disappointment publicly.
• Some comments suggest that while the event was grand, not all sections of the audience got same experience (sound, visibility, delays affecting enjoyment).
1. Historic First in Kumasi
• Sarkodie announced that the 2025 Rapperholic will be held in Kumasi — his “Homecoming” edition. It’s the first time the event is being staged in Kumasi, at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium. 
• The theme “Homecoming” emphasizes Sarkodie returning to his roots and honoring his connection with Kumasi. 
2. Royal Blessing & Cultural Respect
• Sarkodie paid a courtesy visit to the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, at Manhyia Palace to formally inform him of the concert and to seek his blessings. 
• The Asantehene endorsed the concert and even expressed interest in attending. He advised Sarkodie to stay humble and avoid unhealthy competition. 
3. Promotion & Build-Up Activities
• Tickets were announced to be available from 25 July. 
• A peace float was held in Kumasi (on or around 24 September 2025) as part of the promotional activities. Sarkodie and his team led the float through the commercial parts of the city, interacting with fans. 
• During the float, Sarkodie’s team “sprayed” bundles of money to fans in the crowd as a show of appreciation. 
4. Logistics and Regulatory Concerns
• One issue raised was by the National Sports Authority (NSA), over preserving the pitch at Baba Yara Stadium. Sasha clarified that the pitch (the grass field) would not be damaged; the stage/set-up would avoid the main field, staying on stands/tartan tracks etc. 
• Sarkodie spoke about the difficulty in choosing the setlist, since he has a large catalogue and many fan favourite tracks. He wants to include some less frequently played songs too. 
5. Media, Partners, and Lineup
• There are many media partners lined up for the event, ensuring wide coverage. 
• Some of the artists expected to perform include Efya, Shatta Wale, Gyakie, Medikal, Lasmid, Kofi Kinaata, Kweku Smoke, Jay Bhad, etc.
