Sarkodie was right and Charter House knows it—so as every reasonable person or company will do, the organisers of the annual Ghana Music Awards have apologized to Sarkodie, saying, they erred in using Sarkodie’s name in their promo without consent or any contract.
it’s good ood Sarkodie spoke out—and it’s good that he got the backing of some artistes and the various bloggers who made educative and brilliant legal points out of it, including Chris-Vincent Agyapong, Editor of GhanaCelebrities.Com.
Read the full 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.
