CEO of Bullhaus Entertainment, Lawrence Asiamah Hanson, popularly known in the entertainment circles as ‘Bull Dog’, has revealed that Charterhouse, organizers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), set up dancehall artist, Stonebwoy.
According to Bulldog, Ghanaians will have to blame Charterhouse if Stonebwoy is jailed.
Explaining his statement, Bulldog, who is also an entertainment critic, mentioned that Charterhouse should have muted Stonebwoy’s microphone after the fracas because he was going off script and was not in the right state of mind to give a speech.
“This is what you should realize… Charterhouse set Stonebwoy up… they gave him a stage to say his peace after the fracas. Knowing VERY WELL he wasn’t in the RIGHT FRAME OF MIND. They never muted his microphone when he was going off script. They allowed him to incriminate himself. A scheme that’s supposed to serve as a parent body to all musicians shouldn’t avail its platform for such. IF Stonebwoy gets a jail term from this court case, BLAME Charterhouse! The irony, they caused the arrest of both Charles Nii Armah Mensah and Stonebwoy for disturbance.”
“After a huge lapse in their security arrangements. Endangering lives of dignitaries and patrons by failing to detect fire arms smuggling into the auditorium. Charterhouse walks away free of charge. They get to return to business as usual. By creating bad blood and discordance in our arts space, enriching themselves on the back of intellectual property of talents aided by Vodafone Ghana and other sponsors.”
Before the scheme, the entertainment space didn’t have this much apprehensiveness and antagonism among participants and stakeholders.
The scheme uses and dumps talents as and when they please. The scheme needs a break to reflect. Bow down their heads in shame for the incertitude and disorderliness deeply planted by their selfish actions in our space for the last two decades. #YEAROFABUNDANCE #sikanhyiraadom,” Bull Dog posted on his Instagram page.
