Minister of Communications, Ursula Owusu has slammed Captain Smart for his recent comments on the COVID-19 Tracker App launch concert.

According Captain Smart, although the Ministry of Information revealed that none of the musicians were paid for performing at the virtual concert, his background checks reveals the likes of Kuami Eugene and Shatta Wale received payments.

“If you do work for someone and you’re paid for it. But the person goes about saying you did it for free, send the money back to that person because it is a curse to receive money and pretend you didn’t. Why did you perform at the virtual concert and you got paid but the Minister comes out to say you didn’t take any money?”, 

Speaking further, Captain revealed the musicians were paid huge sums of money.

According to him, each artistes received an amount ranging from 5,000 to GHC 100,000.
