Tracy Owusu Addo, the wife of renowned Ghanaian rapper Sarkodie, recently shared her inspiring story of perseverance and hard work before establishing her career. In a heartfelt Instagram video, Tracy recounted the diverse roles and challenges she encountered along the way.
Her journey began with various jobs that honed her skills and shaped her into a versatile individual. “I’ve worked as a waitress, in customer service, as a telephonist, and as a secretary,” she said. “These experiences have made me incredibly resourceful. If you need something, I can procure it. My past has equipped me with this ability,” she added.
Tracy detailed her time in Germany, balancing work at a central train station with her university studies. “When I started university, I worked at Berlin’s main train station, selling magazines, travel essentials, and chargers. Students often get the least desirable shifts, but self-sufficiency left me no choice.”
She vividly described the harsh conditions she experienced while working at the train station. “Braving the cold, I’d work six to eight-hour shifts. Reflecting on the modest earnings, one wonders why endure such hardship. Yet, in those moments, survival is the sole focus,” she shared.
Together, they have two children, Titi and Michael Nana Yaw Owusu Addo Jnr, and often share glimpses of their family life. Tracy’s unwavering support has significantly contributed to Sarkodie’s illustrious career.
