The 2016 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) artiste of the year, E.L, is not parting ways with BBnZ Live, the multi-purpose entertainment company managing his career, NEWS-ONE has gathered from official sources.

“We heard media reports suggesting that E.L had said he was contemplating changing his management and leaving BBnZ but when we asked him, he said it is not true. In fact, I was the one who personally asked him and he denied he had such thoughts,” Stephan, E.L’s manager, told Starr FM’s Morning Zoo over the weekend.

Stephan also spoke to NEWS-ONE on the same subject, saying, “E.L. was quoted out of context. He was being his usual hilarious Elorm and that joke was taken out of context as though he was making a serious statement.”

E.L’s manager, however, admitted that there was still room for improvement and the team could do more.

“I believe we are working very hard and everyone knows that but the stakes and expectations are very high and that is where the challenge is. But as a team, we are very united with the artiste and not relenting,” Stephan added.

Stephan mentioned that after E.L saw the story that he was divorcing his management team, the artiste had granted several interviews to deny and set the records straight but for unexplained reasons, a section of the media continued to run with the first story which was a misrepresentation and had since been corrected.

E.L, the music president at BBnZ, was the biggest winner at the 2016 Ghana Music Awards, where he grabbed a total of five awards, including the overall best artiste of the year.

E.L picked the Afropop song of the year award for the song ‘Minaa Bo Po’, hiplife/hip-hop artiste of the year, producer of the year and also music video of the year award for the song ‘Shelele’.
