The annual organizers of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA), Charter house has indefinitely banned dancehall artistes Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale.
Announcing the decision at a press conference in Accra on Thursday, the Board Chairman of the VGMA, Amandzeba Nat Brew said the awards won by the two artistes on the night of the 20th edition of the scheme have been nullified.
They are thus not eligible for VGMAs nominations, selections and performances going forward.
According to the VGMA board, the decision was taken after “careful deliberations” and “extensive consultation” with stakeholders in the music industry.
The decision comes on the back of the confusion that happened on Sunday dawn during the awards event with the two at the center stage.
The incident, which led to Stonebwoy pulling out a gun on stage marred the event and attracting bad publicity to it in both local and international media.
The two are currently facing legal action after Charterhouse filed a police report over the incident.
