Reggae/Dancehall artist Samini Reggae/Dancehall artist Samini

The drama over the appearance and performance of Stonebwoy at tonight’s VGMA Nominees Jam at Cape Coast has taken another turn and www.entertainmentgh.com is almost frazzled following the situation.

In a new statement released by the organizers, confirming the list of artists for tonight’s show, the name of Stonebwoy was excluded, just hours after the artist was once again advertised to perform.

In his place, Samini, arguably the best live performer in Ghana, has been added to the list.
