The Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) has moved to dispel assertions surrounding Shatta Wale’s awards at last weekend’s Ghana Music Awards.
Shatta Wale, who won three awards, couldn’t pick up any of them when his name was mentioned because he decided not to attend the event. In his stead, an unknown lady picked up all three award plagues.
His manager, Bulldog, in an interview with reporters reveals that they don’t know the whereabouts of the awards since the woman who received the awards on their behalf is a total stranger.
However, MUSIGA, in a statement has revealed that the plagues are not lost and that there’s no cause for alarm. According to the statement, Shatta Wale asked the President of MUSIGA to pick his awards on his behalf. The president then allowed a guest of MUSIGA who also happens to be a fan of Shatta Wale to receive the awards.
Read the statement below:
It has come to the notice of the MUSICIANS UNION OF GHANA of news making rounds that Shatta Wales awards are missing.
We wish to state that all the three awards are with MUSIGA and not missing as reported.
Shatta Wale who is a member of Musiga, asked the President of Musiga to pick any award he may win on the night on his behalf since he was not going to be able to attend the event.
The lady who received Shatta Wales awards on the night was a special guest of Musiga who is also a big fan of Shatta Wale and the Shatta Movement.
She is a very respectable and honourable person and we wish to apologise for any harm caused to her as a result of the publication.
Arrangements have been for Shatta Wale to pick his 3 awards from the Union( Musiga).
