Lady Prempeh cries over the treatment she received at Esther Smith's concert

She revealed that she had been invited to perform at concerts in Kumasi, Accra, and Takoradi five months before the event.

"Five months back, Esther Smith called me about a programme in Ghana in Kumasi, Accra and Takoradi and she would want me to perform at all three shows," Lady Prempeh explained.

However, three weeks before the event, she was asked to choose only one concert due to the many artists scheduled to perform. She opted for the Accra concert.

Lady Prempeh described a series of communication issues regarding rehearsals, stating that there was uncertainty about the schedule until the event day, when she was called for rehearsal.

Despite attending the dress rehearsal, Lady Prempeh was surprised to learn that her promotional flyer had not been included in the event materials on the morning of the performance.

'If her management hasn't contacted you after the program, can't your management contact her? What is really the point in spewing what is supposed to be between you and her on social media if you have no agenda? Or you want us to drag her? Don't do this, it's way below you, ma'am."
