Sarkodie
Rapper on Board
Ghanaian musician and BET award-winning rapper Sarkodie were on the Delta flight. The rapper was scheduled for an event in Detroit but missed it due to the diversion to Terceira.
Posting to his official X account (formerly Twitter) to update his family and fans, Sarkodie wrote:
“So I missed my event in Detroit due to @Delta doing an emergency landing on an island in Portugal yesterday. 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 complaints 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 (are) 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,” Sarkodie added.
