Narrating this sad incident the rapper said, “There was a situation where I was going to visit my family in Germany and at the immigration, an officer pulled me aside for holding an Italian officer,” he told Vlad TV. I didn’t know it was a crime because it was a Schengen Visa and I could go anywhere in Europe. He pulled me aside and questioned me about why am I using an Italian visa to enter Germany, and I asked if that was wrong. He said ‘no’ but wants to understand why, and I said ‘just because I wanna come to Germany”.
“And he said straight to my face that ‘I know Africans are poor, so how are you going to take care of yourself while you are here?”.

He also revealed how he got very angry saying, “And that, I flipped; that one, I can’t take it. That’s stupid. That’s even racist, it’s just you being stupid. I had to put him right. I lost my cool.”
Sarkodie said the encounter made him more aware of racism from that moment on.
“From that they on, I had to pay attention to some certain things. I didn’t take things serious until that day.”
