Multiple award-winning Gospel singer, Joe Mettle has said the exclusion of fellow artistes Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy from the upcoming Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) will be unfair.
According to him, he believes both artistes have worked hard in the year under review and need to be appreciated for their hard work.
Speaking in an interview Joe Mettle said, he believes the ban has served its purpose as both artistes have sorted out their differences.
He said: “I think both artistes have been able to come together to fix their differences and I’m sure whatever was between them is fine now. I think when they were banned, the organizers weren’t sure the artistes could fix this and I think the ban helped in pushing them into the direction they’ve been able to get to.”
Joe Mettle went on to ass that: “So personally, I don’t think even if the ban if lifted it’ll be a bad decision. Because they’ve work in the year under review, both artistes have worked really hard so excluding them from the scheme will be unfair.”
Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale were banned indefinitely from the VGMA after they disrupted the 2019 edition of the event held at the Grand Arena Dome of the Accra International Conference Centre on May 18.
Both artistes were arrested and put before court on charges of offensive conduct conducive to breach of peace and displaying a weapon in a public place without permission for Stonebwoy.
