Sarkodie Links Rémy Adan on ‘Nobody’ — M.O.G Beatz-Produced DeJaVu EP Third Single and Ghana × Côte d’Ivoire Love Song Out Now
Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire have argued about many things over the years: whose attiéké is sweeter, whose football fans shout louder, whose coupé-décalé dance broke more waists at the wedding. But on Friday, 13 November 2026, Sarkodie called a ceasefire and opened a joint kitchen. His new single “Nobody” features Ivorian singer Rémy Adan, and the Landlord himself described it in four words that sound like a restaurant menu: “Love brewed in African pot.” Chale, bring your spoon.
The official visualiser landed on Sarkodie’s YouTube channel on Thursday evening, 12 November, and the audio followed at midnight on all streaming platforms. “Nobody” is the third single from Sarkodie’s DeJaVu EP, following “Deja Vu” with KiDi and “Cold” with Olivetheboy. Production is credited to M.O.G Beatz, and the record runs a relaxed 3:28. Sarkodie tagged the announcement “Ghana x Côte d’Ivoire”, said he “took a trip down the francophone side of the continent” to make it, and went further to call it “one of my fav records in my entire catalog”. When a man with more than fifteen years of hits says that, you sit up small.

Who Is Sarkodie?
If you need an introduction to Sarkodie, kindly confirm that your phone is not still on airplane mode since 2008. Born Michael Owusu Addo in Tema, he is the rapper who turned Twi bars into an export product and made “Obidi” a household name from Kasoa to Kumasi. His 2012 album Rapperholic became a brand, then a concert franchise, and in 2019 he took home the BET Hip Hop Award for Best International Flow. Through his own Sarkcess Music imprint he has stayed at the top of Ghana rap for well over a decade, which in this industry is basically a miracle with a receipt.
2026 has been one of his busiest years. He took Lasmid out on “Lavida Loca”, jumped on Wendy Shay’s “This & That”, opened the DeJaVu campaign with KiDi on 16 October, headlined Rapperholic in Kumasi, then brought Olivetheboy in for “Cold” on 30 October. Right now he is on the road with The African Diaries, with recent stops in Kenya and Uganda. When Orange 107.9 FM joked that he was giving fans too much music this year, his answer was short: “a lot more coming.” Some people just do not know how to rest.
Meet Rémy Adan: Yopougon’s Choirboy With a Finance Degree
For Ghanaian readers whose French stops at “bonjour” and “ça va”, let us do quick introductions. Rémy Adan was born Anoh Aimé Ange Daniel Ebalé in Yopougon, Abidjan. He grew up following his mother to choir rehearsals, and by his teenage years he was already leading songs at church vigils and masses. Then, in true West African parent-approved style, he went and collected degrees in economics, management and finance, including a master’s from HEC Abidjan. Yes, the man can sing your heart out and still calculate your interest rate.
His music career started in 2017 with the rap group Indéfini before he went solo in 2018. The big break came in 2021 with “Le Goût De”, which blew up with young Ivorian fans and became a TikTok challenge. A remix with our own Stonebwoy carried his voice across the border, and songs like “Choupompom”, “Koutoukou” and “Tchokoroba” kept the momentum going. He has also acted on screen in Teenagers and MTV Shuga Babi, picked up AFRIMA nominations, and his fans proudly call themselves the Remynation. In short: Sarkodie did not just call any francophone voice. He called the Prince of Ivorian Afro-pop.
The Sound: M.O.G Beatz Cooks, Two Countries Eat
The producer credit is the first clue that Sarkodie is serious. M.O.G Beatz is the man behind Sarkodie classics like “RNS”, “Saara” with Efya, “Lucky” with Rudeboy and “Country Side” with Black Sherif. Fun fact for the trivia people: M.O.G also produced Kwesi Arthur’s “Nobody” with Mr Eazi back in 2019. So this is the second “Nobody” on his CV. Maybe the man just likes the word. Maybe he knows something we do not.
What you get here is a warm, mid-tempo Afrobeats love song, built more for slow wining than for jumping on tables. Sarkodie switches from his usual punchline mode into something softer and more grateful, talking about a woman who stood with him from the struggle days to the good life, a love that feels right and refuses to cost him anything. Rémy Adan answers with that smooth, choir-trained tone, and the hook keeps circling back to the title: there is nobody like this person. It is a simple idea, but the chemistry is what sells it. Twi swagger on one side, francophone sweetness on the other, and a beat that sits in the middle like a referee who does not want trouble.
The Visualiser and the Cover
The single wears the official DeJaVu EP artwork, the same one fans saw on “Deja Vu” and “Cold”: Sarkodie in a crisp white shirt and silver bracelet, holding a vintage gold microphone in a round spotlight against a red velvet curtain, with “Deja Vu” written underneath in red script. It is old-school glamour, like a jazz singer from an Accra nightclub in the sixties. The visualiser keeps that red, moody colour palette and adds a couple dancing in front of the curtain, the woman in an elegant white-and-gold outfit. Romantic, classy and very “we are married in spirit” energy.
Why “Nobody” Matters
Sarkodie is not dropping random loosies; he is climbing a staircase. Lead single in October, Rapperholic Kumasi, second single, and now a third single exactly two weeks before the DeJaVu EP lands on 27 November. With “Deja Vu”, “Cold” and now “Nobody” out, only “Antigua” and “Promises” are left in the pot. Each single has brought a different guest and a different flavour: KiDi for the R&B smoothness, Olivetheboy for the new-school melody, and now Rémy Adan for the cross-border romance.
The Côte d’Ivoire angle is the real headline. Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire are neighbours who share borders, markets and family trees, yet our music conversations still lean heavily towards Lagos. Abidjan’s scene has been loud lately, with Didi B pulling King Promise into his world on “HOLIDAY” just this week. Sarkodie walking through that door with Rémy Adan says the francophone bridge is open, and the biggest rapper in Ghana is ready to cross it. For Rémy Adan, a Sarkodie collaboration is an instant passport into every Ghanaian playlist this December.
The Ent News Verdict
“Nobody” is Sarkodie in lover-boy mode, and it suits him. M.O.G Beatz keeps the groove warm, Rémy Adan brings a melody that sticks like jollof at the bottom of the pot, and the whole thing sounds like two neighbours finally sitting down at the same table. It may not be the loudest song on the DeJaVu run, but it might be the sweetest. If Sarkodie says it is one of his favourite records in his whole catalogue, who are we to argue? Press play, call your person, and tell them plainly: nobody.
