Sammy Baah Flex, the manager for Charles Nii Armah Mensah, Shatta Wale, has expressed his frustration and disappointment over the fact that the image of the sponsor of the Ghana Music Award UK, Taabea Herbal Bitters has been dragged to the mad by a section of social media users, but painfully some industry members.
Sammy Flex started with a paraphrased quote from his former boss Nana Appiah Mensah “Noise being made by enemies is not a problem more than the silence of my friends”. He was speaking in connection with media practitioners who despise the award scheme along with the sponsor.
He said, “You can touch Shatta Wale but don’t touch the sponsor, you can disagree with the position of the awards, but don’t touch the sponsor”.
Sammy Flex who accompanied Shatta Wale to the UK for the Taabea Ghana Music Awards said that many award schemes come with controversies especially when certain artists win prizes, but it was unfortunate for people, especially entertainment journalists and members of the showbiz fraternity to make mockery of the headline sponsor for the event.
He mentioned one beautiful occasion when Joy FM organized a discussion at La Badi Beach Hotel to discuss issues of sponsorship thoroughly.
To him, it was a shame that people who ought to know better were joining the bandwagon in ridiculing the sponsor.
Sammy Flex also espoused that the Sponsor is being ridiculed most likely because Shatta Wale won many of the awards at the ceremony.
The Broadcast Journalist and artiste manager, always soft and gentle in speech, gave council to his colleagues to eschew such an attitude if there’s to be meaningful progress in the Entertainment industry
