In order to explore rapper Shatta Wale and his team’s potential participation in the prestigious award program, Charterhouse’s Chief Executive Officer has indicated a willingness to speak with them
Theresa Ayoade stated in an interview with JoyNews that while Shatta Wale and his team have remained unresponsive despite attempts to contact them, Stonebwoy’s team has favourably responded to the lifting of their ban and engaged in fruitful dialogues.
“We are open to a conversation… We want to be inclusive as possible… We are happy to have a decent conversation, similar to what we had with Stonebwoy’s team. We are ready to sit down and discuss matters as mature adults,” Mrs Ayoade expressed to host Aisha Ibrahim.
This development follows Shatta Wale’s absence from this year’s VGMA, despite the ban imposed on him and Stonebwoy in 2019 being lifted.
The CEO of Charterhouse underlined that while her company accepts constructive feedback and works to improve, it is crucial to avoid disparaging or criticizing the show because doing so diminishes the considerable work that went into creating it.
“We want to ensure that the scheme is respected. Any artist who agrees to be part of the scheme should abide by its outcomes. It is crucial to treat the scheme with respect, just as we respect every musician. We expect the industry to reciprocate that respect, considering we are collaborators within the industry,” she stated.
