Charterhouse Apologizes To Sarkodie
Ghana’s foremost event management company
Charterhouse Productions organisers of the
prestigious Ghana Music Awards, have apologized to
Rapper Sarkodie for using his name without his
permission in a VMGA ad as one of the performers
on the upcoming awards night set for Saturday
April 11.

The company have released a press statement
apologizing to the “Illuminati” Rapper after
he took to social media over the weekend to tell
the world how he felt about what he described as
disrespect and cheating on the part of
Charterhouse.

Peeved Sarkodie took to twitter on Easter Monday
April 6 2015 to take a swipe at the Ghana Music
Awards organisers. He tweeted;

"Charter house always trying to play smart on Us
smh"

"Everyone benefiting off entertaining but the
entertainers"

The BET Award winner continued his social media
rant today with countless tweets, registering his
displeasure on how Charterhouse is using his name
illegally to "deceive" his fans and make money
with his name.

In a swift responds, Charterhouse have accepted
their mistake and taken responsibly for what seems
like an issue of miscommunication or an avoidable
error on their part.










Read the unedited statement from Charterhouse
below:

The management of Charterhouse expressly
apologises for a Vodafone Ghana Music Awards radio
commercial that has aired on YFM announcing
Sarkodie as one of the performing artistes on the
night.

We would like to expressly state that Sarkodie IS
NOT performing at the 16TH VODAFONE GHANA MUSIC
AWARDS.

Prior to this, we had been communicating and had
met with a member of his management team trying to
arrive at a favourable figure. In anticipation of
that figure coupled with the unstable power
situation in the country plus the long Easter
weekend ahead of us, where it would be almost
impossible to get a studio to record, we worked
ahead and recorded different versions of the 16th
VGMA’s final event radio commercial. One with
Sarkodie’s name and another without. With our
fingers crossed, the ads were all submitted to our
media manager.

Unfortunately, we were unable to come to a
favourable agreement and parted ways amicably. Our
media manager was immediately informed on Thursday
evening to send out only the ad that DID NOT HAVE
Sarkodie’s name. This, she did except for YFM,
where she sent the wrong ad which had Sarkodie’s
name. Clearly, it was an error from our end which
we have totally admitted.

We hereby unreservedly apologise to Sarkodie, his
management friends and fans as well.

Measures have been taken to ensure this does not
happen again.

FOR CHARTERHOUSE GHANA
