High-life musician who stays true to the
rudiments of the genre, Kofi Boakye Yiadom,
known in showbiz as Kofi B, has descended
heavily on Charter House, organizers of the
annual Ghana Music Awards, describing them as
full of dishonesty.
Zionfelix.com has spoken to some artistes who
are not happy about this year's nominees for
Ghana Music Awards.
According to Kofi B, Charter House has for the
past years exhibited unfairness and
incompetence. He said they as an organization
has lost direction and credibility in organizing
awards for musicians in Ghana. The 'Akua Attaa'
hitmaker stated clearly in an interview with Ashh
Entertainment Zone that, he doesn't need any
award from Charter House.
When asked by the host of the show, Nana
Amoako as to why the "Bantama Kwasi Boakye''
song was not nominated by the VGMA board,
Kofi B disclosed that per the laid down
procedures of Charter House, his song was late
to fall in the Hi-life category.
"They have a time period within which they
select their songs from and to them mine does
not fall within so I guess they will nominate it next year"
"But I don't need them in any way because of
their dishonesty, hypocrisy and unfair treatment
towards some of us. Some of us don't work for
awards, we are doing music just to promote our
culture and entertain our fans, that's all," he added.
Kofi B who was pathetic about the modus
operandi of Charter House revealed that the
VGMA board since they started the awards has
never nominated him and for that matter he
thinks they are bias and incompetent.
"When I released 'Koforidua flowers' and 'Akua
Attaa', the songs were hit all over, but did
Charter House nominate them?'' He questioned.
"When you look at the kind of music they have
nominated for the awards is very sad; songs like
Tonga and others, are they good music than
mine ? I mean Charter House is a flippant entity,
they are confused and if we don't take care they
will kill our industry."
