Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale were
banned indefinitely from the VGMA scheme, stripped off all last year’s and
asked to return the plaques after they disrupted the event.
Music veteran, Rex Omar calls on the yet-to-be constituted board
of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) not to lift the ban placed on
Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale.
His call did not settle well with Stonebwoy as the artiste is
asking the veteran to rather focus on lifting the image of the Ghana Music
Rights Organisation which he is the chairman.
Rex Omar speaking on 3FM had argued that the two artistes are
not bigger than the Ghanaian music industry, hence the ban should not be
lifted.
He also noted that they are not bigger than the industry…if we
allow them to be bigger than the industry, then we don’t have an industry,
forget it. Principles must stand.
But reacting
to the suggestion, Stonebwoy indicated on 3FM’s Showbiz 927 that Rex Omar’s
concern should rather be how to man the affairs of GHAMRO as right owners are
yet to duly benefit from their sweat since his assumption of office.
“I believe he
is the boss of GHAMRO or whatever it is. He has work to be done at GHAMRO. He
can actually leave VGMA matter for VGMA except he is part of the board,” he
told MzGee, the host.
