Sharing his ordeal in a Facebook post on Sunday, September 10, Sarkodie said he missed out on his event at Detroit, in the Michigan State of USA due to the unfortunate development.

The two time VGMA Artiste of the Year winner lamented about how poorly the airline handled the devastating situation by not communicating and updating passengers about the situation on the ground.

Sarkodie indicated that his post was not to tarnish the image of any business entity but to call for the right things to be done to save the lives of passengers.  

“So I missed my event in Detroit due to Delta Air Lines doing an emergency landing on an island in Portugal yesterday…

“No compensation nothing and our bags still on the island. Moving forward I wouldn’t want to tarnish a business but hopefully they see to this problem and resolve it,” part of the post reads.

It was unfortunate but I know these things happen so I wasn’t trippin even though they communicated poorly and didn’t have the courtesy to update us on exactly what was happening… sat at the airport for about 6 hours and from complains from passengers, this isn’t new with that airline especially from this part of the world (Africa) they keep sending these weak old flights (business class almost same as economy) to pick us up knowing very well they are not safe but still risk lives. We almost landed on the ocean but thank God we touched that island safe. No compensation nothing and our bags still on the island. Moving forward I wouldn’t want to tarnish a business but hopefully they see to this problem and resolve it … and to my fans in Detroit I’m very sorry and we working on making it up to you (sic)”.
