Musician and rapper Sarkodie has descended heavily on Charter House, saying the event organisers are trying to “play smart” on him.
Charter House had earlier asked Sarkodie to perform at the 16th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards but the latter could not perform because the event organisers could not afford the amount Sarkodie was requesting for.
He said though they had both [Charter House and Sarkodie] agreed that he will no longer be performing at the event , Charter House kept on running adverts on various media platforms, deceiving Ghanaians that he will be performing.
“I got a call in the states that promo running on Yfm still that I’m performing… Called them and they were swearing on graves..” Sarkodie posted on his twitter handle.
Wasn’t even pissed when I was asking them to take off the promo it was the explanation they were trying to give me… Made me sound stupid

Sarkodie said “Charter House is trying to play smart” on musicians. “I just want my profession to be respected where am from … And they should stop acting like we not that important..” Sarkodie said.
Either they compensate or pay for the amount I quoted …. Wow!!! So was that a contribution in just some minutes or you had funds for that — Sarkodie (@sarkodie) April 7, 2015
“I try my best not to use people and I expect the same … you can’t blame me”
Getting the fans to go buy tickets thinking I’m performing then if I don’t show up they get mad at me…

He expressed shock at events that unfolded at the event, saying he thought Charter House had “trashed out issues last year on a good note.” “We always want you all to be excited but after, we need to be too…” he adde. The dance hall king Shatta Wale has previously also attacked Chatter House over similar complaints.
