The main organizers of Ghana’s biggest sets of awards to honour artistes in the Ghana music Industry, Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), Charterhouse has condemned the violent encounter between Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale at their 20th edition of the event.
These two artistes, Shatta and Stonebwoy, destroyed the show after Stonebwoy reportedly fired a gunshot because of Shatta Wale’s attack on him and his team while they were receiving an award.
Stonebwoy was forced by Shatta Wale to act nonsense at the 20th edition of VGMA at the Accra International Conference Centre over the weekend.
About this unfortunate incident, Stonebwoy has officially released a press statement to apologised to Charterhouse, Ghanaians and to the main sponsors of the event, Vodafone Ghana.
A very eventful 20th Anniversary VGMA edition came off Saturday night/Sunday dawn at the Accra International Conference Centre.
The event, which was marred by violence from Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy, managed to continue following their fracas but ended in a truncated fashion as for the first time in the show’s history, no Artist of the Year was crowned on the night.
The spate of activities to be held before the 20th anniversary VGMAs kicks off continues on Friday as Charterhouse hosts its ‘future of music business’ seminar.
The seminar, which would bring together music stakeholders to brainstorm the future of the industry, would be held at the Ridge Arena of the Alisa Hotel on May 17th, from 9:30am to 4pm.
The veteran Ghanaian hiplife group Praye are engaged in a war of words with organizers of the annual VGMAs, Charterhouse.
Praye’s anger stems from being unable to land even one nomination for this year’s awards, which led to the group slamming Charterhouse which in turn elicited a response from their communications manager, George Quaye.
All events and preparations are set for the upcoming 20th-anniversary edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
The mega event kicks off this weekend with the first-ever VGMA Experience concert, to be held at the Independence Square in Accra.
It seems all is not well for Ghana’s biggest Awards scheme, Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA). Unlike how their previous held events were hyped and promoted, this year’s VGMA has not seen such publicities.
Commenting on this during an interview with showbiz, the Communication Officer at Charterhouse, George Quaye stated that since this year’s maiden event is not being promoted especially seeing it on billboards, being advertised on radios/Television stations and being published on different blogs, should tell you all is not well for the organizers.
The 20th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, organized by Charterhouse is scheduled to take place in Accra somewhere in May 2019. This years edition will mark the 20th anniversary of the biggest awards show in Ghana and even in Africa.
As part of the activities that precede the main show every year, a nominees jam is organized in one of the cities of Ghana and this year, Kumasi was chosen as the host city for the nominees’ jam.
Yesterday, 6th April 2019, Kumasi was brought back to life in the aspect of entertainment most especially music shows. It is the 20th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, and ahead of the main event set to happen in May, the Nominees’ Jam happened in Kumasi.
Kumasi has hosted the VGMA nominees jam before, but this was just extraordinary as it marked the 20th edition of the Ghana Music Awards. Congratulations to Charterhouse for doing this for the past 20 years and they couldn’t have chosen any better place for this celebration to happen than Kumasi.
Controversial Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale who lambasted organisers of Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, Charterhouse after Dancehall Diva Kaaki won “Reggae Dancehall song of the Year” in 2013 is now excited and recording videos on social media to celebrate the 8 awards he won at 2019 3Music Awards.
Shatta Wale in a tweet in 2014, stated clearly that he doesn’t need awards because he is rich with cars and houses ─Shatta Wale even recorded a diss song directed at Charterhouse for not gifting him “Reggae Dancehall song of the Year” in 2013.
The boss of Madtime Entertainment, Kwaw Kese has shared his brutal views on how award schemes in Ghana have lowered the standards by rewarding family and friends instead of hardworking artistes putting Ghana on the map.
According to Kwaw Kese, Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) has lost its credibility because discrimination and favouritism have taken over the once credible award scheme.
Ten timeless artists have been nominated by organizers of the annual Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs), Charterhouse, to compete for the prestigious prize of artiste of the decade.
The VGMAs celebrates its 20th anniversary this year and in addition to all the usual awards, one category has been added to reward the best artiste in the country over the past ten years.
Ahead of the landmark 20th Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), the nominees jam has been slated to be held in the Ashanti Regional Capital of Kumasi.
The nominees jam is to be headlined by the biggest names who got nominated for the upcoming awards and would include Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Wendy Shay and others.
Shatta Wale is doing everything possible just to paint a certain picture that presupposes that, VGMA is the best thing that has ever happened to his musical career.
About six years ago, Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jnr aka Shatta Wale was on a solo crusade, taking Charterhouse and all its associated brands to the cleaners, branding them as fake and all sort of things.
After insulting and throwing vituperative attacks on Charterhouse and their Vodafone Ghana Music Awards for many years, Shatta Wale took his hypocritical self to their nominees announcement event over the weekend as he received many nominations.
The nominees announcement brought together all the gurus of our entertainment industry as the VGMA is the biggest award show in Ghana and one of the finest on the African continent.
