Shatta Wale would have to conclude the process of mollifying Charterhouse if he wants a shot at partaking in the “prestigious” Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.

Shatta Wale who aspired to win song of the year award with his explosive Kakai track has been denied a nomination in the 7th edition of the VGMA.

Executive Director of Charterhouse Theresa Ayoade at a press conference on Tuesday, February 23, 2016, revealed that Shatta Wale would only be processed for a nomination only if he apologised to the VGMA board after defaming them on social media and claiming to blacklist them last year.

Explaining the position of the events organisers’ on State of Affairs hosted by Nana Aba Anamoah on GhOneTV, Tuesday evening, the Public Relations Officer for Charterhouse, George Quaye said the call on Wale is to ensure the scheme put together under their umbrella is protected from such attacks in the future.

“It is in the interest of the VGMA scheme to safeguard this process”.

Asked if Shatta Wale was not being victimized, Quaye said “there is no lesson to be taught here … we are expecting the right thing to be done… we love the Shatta Wale, I love the new image…nobody is trying to gag anybody. Everybody has an opinion but it is the language you choose or the method you choose to express them that should be watched”.

George Quaye however, said he has faith his artiste “will do the right thing’ by Charterhouse.
