t's important to remember that turning down a collaboration with Rihanna in 2016 does not necessarily mean that Sarkodie missed out on winning a Grammy. While collaborating with a major international artist like Rihanna can certainly boost an artist's profile and increase their chances of achieving mainstream success, it's not a guarantee of winning a Grammy or any other award.
Furthermore, winning a Grammy requires much more than just a high-profile collaboration. It requires hard work, dedication, and a high level of musical talent and creativity. Sarkodie has already achieved a great deal of success in the music industry, and he has been recognized for his contributions to Ghanaian music with numerous awards and accolades.
It's also worth noting that it's not uncommon for artists to turn down collaborations for various reasons, such as lack of preparation time or creative differences. It's important to respect an artist's right to make their own decisions about their music career, and not judge them based on rumors or hearsay.
