VGMA20: Tourism Ministry to hold counselling session for Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy over brawl

The minister of tourism, arts and culture, Barbara Oteng Gyasi has said she that her Ministry will provide a counseling session for Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy.

The Minister who witnessed the brawl that marred the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards event advised the two artistes to avoid engaging in unnecessary lyrical battle that turn out as physical scuffle between their fans.

According to the Minister of tourism, the scuffle between the SM boss and the Bhim Nation president at the VGMAs stage is embarrassing for the music industry.

 “Charter House has raised the Ghanaian music to a different level with the awards scheme and with the 20th Anniversary; we were hoping it will create opportunities to draw more foreigners to the Ghanaian Music industry.

“The violence stole the joy of the event and brought a lot of disgrace because it was telecast on the international media but the Ministry will sit both artistes down to provide them with some counselling in order to channel their effort to help the industry,” she said at the 2019 International Museums Day celebration in Accra.

The Minister condemned the attitude displayed by the duo at the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards which has been criticised by many Ghanaians.
