Organisers of the Vofadone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) Charterhouse Productions will address a Press conference today following the gun incident that marred the milestone event.
Charterhouse after apologizing for the occurrence, also hinted of its imminent press briefings to formally speak on the happenings at the VGMAs.
Meanwhile, in a statement the organiser said: “CharterHouse has taken serious exception to the incident that happened and at the 20th edition of the awards and thus will ensure that the needed sanction are applied”.
Dancehall Artistes Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale both spent the night in Police cells following their detention by the Accra Regional Police Command over the gun incident on the VGMA stage Sunday.
The two were questioned by the Police on Sunday in connection with the disturbances that rocked the 20th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs).
The programmed was marred by a brawl between the two musicians after Shatta Wale and his followers stormed the stage when Stonebwoy was declared as Reggae Dancehall Artiste of the Year.
Police say charges are yet to be preferred against the two since investigations are ongoing.
Stonebwoy’s Apology
Reggae/Dancehall artiste of the year Stonebwoy has apologised to Ghanaians for pulling a gun on stage at the 20th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).
“I’m sorry for the incident that happened earlier. I only had to react out of natural instincts because we all know how premeditative some people can be. We’ve seen on social media the threats and everything, so, we couldn’t come in unprepared because anything could have happened as you guys saw. I come in peace and I go in peace and I apologise to the whole of Ghana…” Stonebwoy said on stage when he picked his second award of the night after the show had resumed.
Stonebwoy was seen on national TV pulling a gun on stage during the melee between him and his rival, Shatta Wale and had to be restrained by his handlers.
