Ghanaian songstress, Amaarae has announced that she has withdrawn from the list of performers for tonight’s TGMA.
The artiste tweeted her decision on June 1 few hours to the beginning of the concert citing disregard and “disrepect” to her production crew by the production team of Charterhouse.
Amaarae clarified that although she had always yearn to perform at the Ghana Music Awards, she intends to do that with by putting on her best show and not when she “has been denied a rehearsal” a night before the event.
According to Amaare, she flew her team consisting of ten people from Barcelona to Ghana after her Primavera show which she said she had to change her performance date to accommodate the TGMA.
She said despite several calls from her team to the Production Manager to find out if they were going to be able to track down the equipment needed for her performance, the calls went unanswered resulting in her decision to pull out.
“For 3 years now, I have tried so hard to perform at the Ghana Music Awards. Their CEO and my Management have worked hard to make it happen and finally we were able to align this year – only for my team to be completely ignored and frustrated by their production manager. GHANA!
I love my country deeply and irrespective of the pushback I’ve gotten from many in this country I still represent and try to show love but I don’t want to lie to you guys, I believe in professionalism and I brought my whole tour team here as an investment in quality because I wanted to put on the best show possible & give you guys the same vim I’ve been giving on all my international shows but that will not be possible tonight given the circumstances!
“We spent a lot of money to come here only to be incredibly disrespected by the Charter House production team. But it is what it is and I like to stay positive and take things in stride – Man proposes, God disposes!
TGMAs
I flew a team of 10 people – my whole audio tech, visual & tour management team 12 hours straight from stage in Barcelona to Ghana, got Primavera to change my performance date from June 1 to May 30th so I could travel to Ghana yesterday (May 31st) only to get to rehearsals…— Fountain Baby (@amaarae) June 1, 2024
