Ghanaian Dancehall act, Stonebwouy (real name Livingstone Etse Satekla) is reported to have turned down a brand ambassadorial offer from telecommunications company – Glo.
According to nydjlive.com, the arecently crowned Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) Artiste of the Year refused to accept the $80,000 deal since he believes he deserves better offer than that.
The website continued to state that the contract will restrict the artiste from performing at events organized by other telecommunication companies like MTN, Tigo, Vodafone, Airtel, and the rest.
It appears the ‘Baafira’ hit maker is taking some clues from fellow celebrities who signed similar endorsement deal by the same company in the past.
Some of them include Tinny, Asem, Reggie Rockstone, etc., who were not able to performon various events organized by competing brands.
Are you guys sure about the amount? This guy looks too hungry to turn that down
Lmao…. You could be right.
GH news when it comes to money is always over inflated. How can this guy turn this money down? I mean how? lol. Is he not the one who will be playing at that conference center all the time?
He shldn’t hve turned down the offer, but on the other hand IDT its fair for them to state that he wldnt be able to perform at events sponsored by other telecommunication companies..it leaves him very limited.
Turning down such an amount could be the biggest mistake of his life.
I am a Professional living abroad and will never think of turning down such an amount,even if it’s shoved down my throat.Dude if this is really true,you’ve blown it Mister.Money does not Grow on Trees.
NO WAY! FOR REAL? LIKE THAT MUCH AMOUNT AND PROBABLY TAX FREE?
I REALLY WANT TO HEAR IT FROM HIS OWN MOUTH OOO.
I HOPE HIS HOMETOWN WITCHES ARE NOT BEHIND THIS!
Hmm some of the comments here are so lame!
So because of USD80,000 over whatever period you sell your career to a Telco that hardly organises events. what that means is you don’t get the chance to perform. What has come out of all those numerous artiste Glo signed previously? They were promised shows but nothing happened. What is USD80,000? when Nigerians artist are signing six digits for the same Telco. if you believe in your talent you don’t jam at every offer!
BAM! I cosign.
you have nyansa paa Lin…hes being limited cos of money…
stonebwoy is a true dancehall legend and he deserves the BET next year too.track is dope.
