The 25th edition of the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, now Telecel Ghana Music Awards, came off on June 1 at the Grand Arena in Accra.

The award ceremony, dubbed Ghana music's biggest night, celebrated hiplife's 30th anniversary and honoured the industry's topmost moments in the year under review.

During the show, a DJ played Shatta Wale's songs to thrill the audience despite the strained relationship between the artiste and the award scheme.

Captain Smart asks Shatta Wale to sue Charterhouse

A serious altercation between Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale during the 2019 edition of the Ghana Music Awards forced Charterhouse to ban the two artistes.

The award scheme lifted the ban a year later. While Stonebwoy jumped at the scheme's decision, Shatta Wale established that he wanted nothing to do with the award and its events.

At the just-ended edition of Telecel Ghana Music, a DJ played a slew of Shatta Wale's infectious hits to charge the crowd. Media personality Captain Smart of Onua FM chided the official DJ and Charterhouse for playing Shatta Wale's music after the ban.

"You can't exist without Shatta Wale. The DJ played songs from other artists, but the fans didn't jam to it as much as they did when Shatta Wale's songs came on," Captain Smart said, hailing Shatta Wale as the god of Ghanaian music.

The media personality has urged Shatta Wale to sue Charterhouse. His remarks about the issue have sparked mixed reactions online.

While Captain Smart's call is a genuine concern, it might be a bit out of place given the current circumstances or facts surrounding the matter. Shatta Wale is not banned from the scheme as it stands. The ban was lifted for both artistes several years ago. He is not part of the scheme because he has decided not to be part. As for the DJ playing Shatta Wale's songs, I am sure the event has permission from GHAMRO. If so, the DJ is covered, and thus, there's no case. Unless there are other circumstances like Shatta Wale telling them before hand not to play his music which I don't think was the case.
