Charter House the organisers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards have issued a statement to apologise to Sarkodie, one of Ghana's talented and growing Hiplife Artiste.The statement comes after Sarkodie took to tweeter to tell the world how he is not happy with the way he was been treated by Charterhouse concerning his involvenment as a performer for the 16th editing of the Ghana Music Awards to be held on the 11th April at the Accra Intyernational Conference Centre.
Read the statement below:
The management of Charterhouse expressly apologises for a Vodafone Ghana Music Awards radio commercial that has aired on YFM announcing Sarkodie as one of the performing artistes on the night.
We would like to expressly state that Sarkodie IS NOT performing at the 16TH VODAFONE GHANA MUSIC AWARDS.
Prior to this, we had been communicating and had met with a member of his management team trying to arrive at a favourable figure. In anticipation of that figure coupled with the unstable power situation in the country plus the long Easter weekend ahead of us, where it would be almost impossible to get a studio to record, we worked ahead and recorded different versions of the 16th VGMA’s final event radio commercial. One with Sarkodie’s name and another without. With our fingers crossed, the ads were all submitted to our media manager.
Unfortunately, we were unable to come to a favourable agreement and parted ways amicably. Our media manager was immediately informed on Thursday evening to send out only the ad that DID NOT HAVE Sarkodie’s name. This, she did except for YFM, where she sent the wrong ad which had Sarkodie’s name. Clearly, it was an error from our end which we have totally admitted.
We hereby unreservedly apologise to Sarkodie, his management friends and fans as well.
Measures have been taken to ensure this does not happen again.
FOR CHARTERHOUSE GHANA
