The much-talked-about 3Music Awards 2021 had a working team of close to a 1,000 people, says Sadiq Abdulai Abu, founder of 3Media Network, organisers of the scheme.

Speaking on Prime Morning on Joy Prime, he shared that the magnitude of the event required the high number.

“We’ve had close to about 1000 people working on this project. One thousand people who were directly impacted by this,” remarked Abu to host Daniel Dadzie.

“For the Yaw Tog and Kofi Jamar performance, the extras on the Yaw Tog part alone were about 30 boys. Come to the Kweku Flick part, the extras were about 5, not forgetting the people that were producing it. Take a look at the tribute performance, there were about 50 extras, all different people, everybody got paid, we never repeated the extras.”

The 3Music Awards 2021 was held on Saturday, March 27, 2021 at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre. It was hosted by Naa Ashorkor and Jay Foley.

Kidi was the biggest winner on the night.

He won top awards including ‘Artiste of the Year’ and ‘Song of the Year’ at the fourth edition of the awards scheme.
