Did Charter House’s PR-George ‘Aboagye’ Quaye Really Send Shatta Wale these Messages?

Published by
George Aboagye Quaye

In any competition, the true integrity of the people organizing the competition revolves around fairness and the manner they relate to those taking part.

Following the recent call of bluff on Shatta Wale by Charter House, the organisers of the annual Ghana Music Award, a screenshot of a certain whatssap conversation that looks like a chat between Geroge ‘Aboagye’ Qauye, PR of Charter House and the dancehall artiste-Shatta Wale has emerged online.

Even though the release of the screenshot was to somehow prove that Shatta Wale actually made his demanded 70000GHS performance fee, reading the chat throws out another big question and taint…

What did Aboagye (George Quaye) mean by saying; ‘Massa, ask for the award, NO SHAKING…I dey with you and I believe everything will go well’?

As someone quiet influential within the organisation responsible for putting together the award. why give an artiste who is competing with others such a grand assurance? Imagine someone at the electoral commission’s office sending a flagbearer such a message…

Aboagye’s message (that is if it is really his) does not state that the award will by all means be given to Shatta Wale, but it is grossly unfair to other candidates and unprofessional to give such assurance to one artiste in secret.

If you are negotiating a performance fee or whatever, where does this assurance come from? Does that mean Davido was also promised the award he received so he can perform for free or at a reduced rate?

When people say Charter House need to sit up, they take offense—but if this happened anywhere in the world, the appropriate investigations will be carried out to strengthening the public confidence in the award scheme.

I can’t imagine how those who were in competition with Shatta Wale are feeling now…
