The reigning ‘Artiste Of The Year’ at the 25th Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), Livingstone Etse Satekla better known as Stonebwoy, has responded to allegations that he was responsible for the cancellation of Shatta Wale’s show at the TF Hotels at the University of Ghana.
It would be recalled that Shatta Wale was billed to perform at the TF hostel at the University of Ghana but on the day of the event, his performance was cancelled because of an “Order from above”.
Shatta Wale in his usual rants on social media blamed Stonebwoy for influencing the decision.
But the Dean of Students for the University of Ghana, Prof Rosina Kyerematen explaining the facts of the matter said the artiste night was cancelled because the leadership of the hall did not seek permission to organize an artiste night.
Their permission was given for a Karaoke night and they could not allow an artiste night since they did not make the needed security arrangements and did not receive clearance from the school’s authorities.
Reacting to claims that he had something to do with the cancellation, Stonebwoy indicated that the claims he called for the event to be cancelled were ridiculous.
“That was ridiculous to hear because it is just like waking up in the morning to be accused strongly of extra powers. I have power, I still exist in all dimensions but I cannot abuse…Even if I have such powers I cannot abuse it…” The reigning TGMA Artiste of the Year stated
Stonebwoy added,” I believe in my brother [Shatta Wale] who always makes me feel more powerful”.
