Ghanaian Dancehall act Shatta Wale has made a major announcement which will see him “recuse” himself from any future nominations regarding the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Scheme.
This announcement comes in the wake of a recent brawl between himself and his music rival Stonebwoy at the just ended awards show.
However, the musician through a social media post has announced his intentions not to be part of the awards scheme going forward. He wrote
Upon sober reflections of events in recent times and having made broader consultations, I wish to announce that I will not be part of the Ghana Music Awards scheme going forward. God bless!
