Lawrence Nana Asiamah-Hanson, popularly known as Bulldog, has said he believes his artiste, Charles Nii Armah, also known Shatta Wale has outgrown the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).
In his opinion, Shatta Wale should not return to the awards scheme, even if the ban placed on himself and fellow musician, Stonebwoy is lifted.
“The transparency level is low when it comes to Ghana Music Awards…I’ve worked at Charterhouse and when I was there I had concerns,” he said in an interview on 3FM.
Bulldog also revealed that even though Shatta Wale had won Artiste of the Year in 2014, he felt the scheme still needed to fix some problems.
“I am not saying they stole, for my artiste. They didn’t have a choice at the time, because in 2013 my artiste was all over,” Bulldog added.
His comments come after Shatta Wale along with his colleague Stonebwoy were not nominated for the 2020 edition of the VGMA.
Both Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale were banned indefinitely from the awards scheme after the two caused a stir with the brawl they were engaged in at the 2019 edition of the event.
Bulldog, however, believes that the awards scheme “is not 100%” as transparent as it should be.
“I would not personally advise him to come back to the awards scheme. If he gets a change of heart as we do in the future, that’s his decision,” he added.
