Stonebwoy issues official apology for 2019 VGMA incident
Sunday has been a day for the issuing of statements following last night’s unfortunate occurrences at the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards. Stonebwoy is the latest to issue a statement of apology.
It is as follows:
I would like to extend my sincerest apologies and deepest regrets for my conduct at what should have been the biggest celebration of Ghanaian music last night.
In seeking to entertain Ghanaians, I have been the victim of incessant vilification and physical attacks in recent times. My own dear wife has in the past suffered a knife attack at a concert – an attack that had been meant for me and which resulted in her being rushed to a hospital.
Such unfortunate incidents have clearly had an impact on me and have resulted in my having a heightened sense of alertness. Violence can easily result in trauma – especially violence against those closest to us. This sense of alertness for my personal security and that of my loved ones, unfortunately, resulted in my behaviour at the just ended 20th edition of the VGMAs.
I have been going through difficult times despite the gains my team and I have made musically in raising high the flag of Ghana and also at the 20th Vodafone Ghana Music Awards.
My past trauma and my heightened senses are however no excuses for my behaviour – no matter the provocation. Other lives were at stake and Ghana’s reputation was also at stake. I am taking remedial measures to ensure that there will never be a repetition of such actions or insecurity whenever I am in a public place. These include improving the security measures within my team and also undergoing counselling to deal with past violent incidents against me and my family. These immediate actions are to ensure that such acts do not recur, nor in any way affect my person or my professional performance.
I hereby wish to render an unqualified apology to event organizers Charterhouse Ghana for marring a rather beautiful event, which was streamed across the continent and indeed the world.
It is my ardent hope that the show will be remembered for the showcase and appreciation of talents and not the few minutes of regretful madness. I will continue working with Charterhouse and hope this won’t in any way affect my relationship with them.
To Vodafone Ghana, my sincerest apologies to you for bringing your brand to a low moment like this. As artistes, we appreciate what you invest and continue to invest in our talents. We hope you will continue to support Ghanaian music.
To all Ghanaians I ask for your forgiveness. The Stonebwoy you know always comes in peace and I will advocate for peace.
I appreciate your understanding and again, I am really and truly sorry.

![](https://ameyawdebrah.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Takeover_web-300x250-1.jpg)
This quarter, Uncle Ebo takes tells a very emotional yet hilarious human story set in a church in his new play ‘TAKEOVER’.
There is total panic and chaos when Apostle Godson returns from surgery; His daughter, Mary, sparks uproar on social media with explicit videos; while within his own church, two of his subordinates orchestrate a takeover. How will he reclaim her tarnished reputation and confront the wolves disguised as sheep within his flock?
“Sometimes, the unlikeliest things occur, even in house of God that leaves one aghast. Then you remember that Satan once was an angel of light, very reason he is able to adorn that façade to deceive. In James Ebo Whyte’s Takeover, you will meet sentinels of Satan on the prowl. Caution! It’s most likely you won’t immediately recognize them!”
-Dr Brew Riverson Junior.
‘Takeover’ intricately weaves a tale of greed, integrity, and the unwavering love of a father for his wayward child.
The play shows on the 5th , 6th , 7th , 12th , 13th and 14th July, 2024.
Show times are: Fridays (one show only) at 7 pm; Saturdays (two shows only) at 4 pm and 8 pm and Sundays (three shows) at 1 pm, 4 pm and 8 pm.

Montrage pleaded guilty in Manhattan Federal Court Feb. 21 to conspiracy to receive stolen money, federal authorities said “In total, Montrage controlled bank accounts that received over $2 million in fraudulent funds from the enterprise, the feds said.
Montrage and other scammers convinced their lovelorn marks to help move gold to the US from overseas; to help resolve purported FBI investigations; and send cash to help US Army officers in Afghanistan, according to court papers. Her ill-gotten gains were deposited in Montrage’s Bronx bank accounts before she wired much of the money to her native Ghana, authorities said.
She allegedly charmed one pigeon into sending her $89,000 through 82 wire transfers by claiming her father’s farm in Ghana needed help, the court documents said.
She tricked that person into believing the pair were married by sending them a tribal marriage certificate after a series of phone conversations using her real identity, authorities alleged.
“Romance scams such as Montrage’s harmed her vulnerable, elderly victims not only in the cruel betrayal of trust in the realization that their online romantic connection was fiction, but by also callously stealing their money,” said Manhattan US attorney Damian Williams.
