Dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah popularly known as Shatta Wale has pleaded with Charter House, the organizers of Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) to reinstate him into the award scheme.<\/p>\n

According to Citi Showbiz<\/strong>\u2019s report, he made this humble request when he was hosted by George Quaye on GH One television\u2019s \u2018Pundit\u2019 last night.<\/p>\n

When asked if he wanted to be part of the award scheme again, he said his inclusion to the VGMA was time overdue.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have to be there. VGMA is like National Anthem. It is God bless our homeland Ghana erhh. I have apologised so many times and don\u2019t know how people want this thing to be done but you know me I wish we take this case from court because it is entertainment,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

When asked if he was ready to go through the processes to get the issue with Charter House resolved, he answered in the affirmative.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am ready to do that anytime soon my brother. My fans are always worried. \u2018Oh Shatta this year you have to go to VGMA,\u2019\u201d he quipped.<\/p>\n

He added that he had matured from certain things he did in the past and had learnt to work harder to make it on the international music market.<\/p>\n

\u201cRight now I\u2019m mature enough to say sorry when I have to say sorry,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Shatta\u00a0Wale was \u2018banned\u2019 from the VGMA in 2014 after making disparaging statements about the organisers of the award. Currently, the issue is still in court.<\/p>\n
