Sarkodie featured because he loves me – OlivetheBoy

Afrobeats artist Olivetheboy recently discussed his collaboration with rapper Sarkodie. He featured Sarkodie on his song "Bend" from the EP *Out of the Blue*.

In an interview on Joy Prime’s *Prime Morning*, Olivetheboy explained their strong bond. He praised Sarkodie, saying no one could have done it better.

“Sarkodie has supported me and my work since my Asylum days,” he said. After writing the first verse for "Bend," he wanted a rapper to join him. “Nobody could have done it better than Sarkodie,” he added.

They worked together in the studio on several songs. However, Olivetheboy chose "Bend" for his EP.

He hinted at more future collaborations with Sarkodie.

Olivetheboy also shared that most songs on his new EP reflect his love life. He gained major recognition in 2023 with his hit song "Goodsin." This song earned him nominations at the 2024 Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA).

Although he did not win last year, he remains hopeful this time. He is nominated for Most Popular Song of the Year (for "Asylum") and Best Afrobeats/Afro Pop Artist of the Year.

He encouraged Ghanaians to vote and support him in these categories.

His new EP, *Out of the Blue*, features singles like "Trees," "One Bebe," "Tattoo," and "Design." He has collaborated with artists like Sarkodie, Qing Madi, and Nigerian Mayorkun on tracks such as "Bend," "Survivor," and "A Fuul."
