I guess Trey Songz will never forget the love the people of Ghana showed him when he visited for a concert. He seems very grateful and Ghana is on his lips, talking good about the people of Ghana in interviews. Trey Songz was recently in the UK to promote his new single “Heart Attack” which is from … Read more
After almost eight hours of music by the various artistes lined up for this year’s ‘020 Live Concert’ organized by Telecom Giant Vodafone, expectant fans were somewhat disappointed – not at the performance but the organisation of the concert.
The Dome of the International Conference Centre was filled to overflowing with lots of people standing outside, hoping they could come in to catch a glimpse of what was happening or maybe ‘not happening’ in the over 3,000 seater capacity Dome.
The hype ahead of the concert drew the numbers but show could not live up to expectation with patrons expressing their frustration every now and then at what could only be described as ‘being taken for granted’.
The likes of D-Cryme, VIP, and 5Five moved the dormant audience a bit when they were called on stage to perform but music lovers who gathered at the Dome are yet to be told what happened to the likes of R2Bees, D’Banj and lead artiste Trey Songs when it was their turn to come and entertain the audience.

When will this stop? This is utterly disgusting and the earlier something is done about it, the better. It seems these corporate giants are not only taking the ordinary Ghanaian for granted, they are also stretching their ill treatments to the media and the various local artistes in Ghana…
Sometimes, I do not understand some of these media men in Ghana, if event organizers cannot accord you guys with the minimal respect deserved, why bother and help them to promote and sell their shows?
It is time our local artistes start to also add value to themselves and DEMAND that, at least certain fundamental respect and honor be given to their talents…
From the photos above & below, how come Amber Rose is ‘poshly’ sitting on some Red carpet with Trey Songz and D’banj whiles our Ghanaian talented and much respected musicians like V.I.P and co have been pushed to the back as if they are some goddam rotten groundnuts.
If the show was all about the stripper Amber Rose, Trey Songz and D’banj, why then did Vodafone bother to bill the local artistes?I am beginning to get tired of how disrespectful these concert organizers treat our Ghanaian celebrities…
Mobile Telecommunication Giant, Vodafone, left a sour taste in the mouth of some journalists when it openly discriminated against Ghanaian artistes billed to perform at the 020 Live Concert alongside International acts Trey Songz and “Kokomaster” D’banj from Nigeria.
Vodafone deliberately treated Ghanaian local stars as though they were nobody and worshiped the foreign artistes like thin gods.
At the pre-event launch on Tuesday September 20, 2011, at the Golden Tulip Hotel ahead of tonight’s big show, Vodafone officials clearly exhibited their disregard for Ghanaian musicians. The sitting arrangement at Golden Tulip’s Upper Terrace said it all, with the three foreign stars -Trey Songz, Dbanj, Amber Rose- and a Vodafone official fully decorated and branded with Vodafone colours. The four sat on confortable red seats, with a 020 backdrop limited to just the four of them and a red carpet just for the four of them.
