Artiste manager, Lawrence Asiama Hanson, popularly known as Bulldog has indicated that BET Award-winner, Sarkodie is not as hot as he used to be.

Making a submission on Happy FM’s Showbiz Xtra, Saturday, Bulldog said no artiste stays hot after five years. According to him, artistes are rather relevant after that period depending on what they did.

He cited international artistes like Kayne West, Lil Wayne and Jay Z alongside some other local acts adding that Sarkodie is still reigning because there is no one to compete with him as the country does not develop talents.

“No one can stay hot after five years. Relevance can be forever. Sarkodie has passed hotness; he’s very relevant. Now let me tell you why Sarkodie is still a leader. There is nobody who is matching him. The industry hasn’t found his replacement. So at any point if you are doing a show, you put him there. If we were developing artiste in this country, by now, Sarkodie may be at the back burner,” he said

“Sarkodie knows that the system has nobody there. The boy is wise. Five years and that is it. What you do in the five years will enable you to stay relevant forever. VIP started way before. They are still here. How come? They are not hot; they are relevant. Obrafour, same,” Bulldog added.
