The 2016 edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards has been called off by the organizers few days after releasing the nominations for the awards.
Several top musicians have shown their displeasure at the kind of Artistes and Songs nominated for various categories.
Bisa K'dei told ondamic.com he is no more interested as his hit songs "Mansa" and "brother brother" were not recognized by the organizers. "Mansa" received a nomination while "Brother Brother" was missing.
"I am no more interested. They should take off my name and song off immediately. Everyone will bear with me that 'Mansa' is supposed to lead nominations. I don't know how they came up with these". Bisa K'dei told ondamic.com
Speaking to Ondamic.com, George Quaye, PR for Charter House, the organizers of the event said this year's awards ceremony has been cancelled for various reasons.
"We have called off this year's ceremony. Several top acts have called us to remove their names immediately and Vodafone has shown great remorse for sponsoring the event due to how the brand has been attacked for negligence on our part. Other sponsors are withdrawing. Banning Shatta Wale is a big mistake we did since we are awarding talents and works but not attitudes." He told ondamic.com.
"Look at how we nominated Teephlow and later had to remove him. In fact we are confused. I personally don't even know what Sarkodie's 'Hand to Mouth' is doing in there while the 'Revenge of the Spartans' is nowhere to be found. So as I said, we have called it off. We are dissolving the board and will come back better next year," He added.
