Ama Warms Her Way Into Sarkodie’s Heart?

Does rapper Sarkodie have a soft spot for actress and TV producer, Ama K Abebrese? Last weekend, Sarkodie gave out his chain to the bubbly actress as a birthday gift, during the live taping of the Diva’s Show on TV3. Both were guests on the show which saw the rapper handing out his chain to Ama K during a commercial break. Now, we all know how much these chains mean to rappers: we read of the beef between Ja Rule and 50 Cent over a chain that got snatched in a nightclub, and of course heard hiphop kingpin, Jay Z rap that he got the hottest woman in the music industry (Beyonce) rocking his chains. So could Sarkodie have some special feelings towards Ama K or was it just a friendly gesture?
