Theresa Ayoade, the Chief Executive Officer of Charter House, organisers of the Ghana Music Awards, has described as heartbreaking the verbal attacks by Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale on the company.
She told Bola Ray during Starr Chat on Starr FM Wednesday evening, the situation has led to her sometimes regretting investing in the Ghanaian music industry.
“Yes I do regret along the line in the sense that we are putting in so much efforts and it seems that it is not appreciated and not valued but at the end of the day we derive satisfaction that we know we doing a good job and doing our best and that discerning people are listening.”
Wale didn’t get any nominations at this year’s Ghana Music Awards because of his verbal attacks on the scheme’s organizers and board.
“… After two years of publicly campaigning about not wanting to included in the awards, and recording and posting of materials that tarnished and denigrated the image of the scheme, he has presented an entry for nomination. The board, however thinks it is the first step to redeeming himself from the denigration of the scheme,” said Mrs. Ayoade at a press conference held weeks ago.
“He has not completed the process, the board wants to encourage him to complete the process he has started, which would include a public apology to the board and the scheme, and thereafter we will move things forward.”
