Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ace Highlife artiste, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley has rendered an unqualified apology to rapper Okyeame Kwame over claims that the latter received monies shared with artists.
This comes three years after he claimed that the rapper was one of the musicians given a share in the government ¢2 million meant for the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA).
In an apology on LinkedIn, recorded by myjoyonline.com, Ambolley noted that he was ‘mistaken’, explaining that MUSIGA’s former President Bice Osei Kuffour aka Obour did not personally hand over any government fund as a loan to Okyeame Kwame.
He admitted that his claims that the ‘Made In Ghana’ hitmaker did not repay the money he received were also false.
“Obour did not give Okyeame Kwame a personal loan from MUSIGHA funds. To support artistes and enable them access loans, MUSIGHA entered an arrangement with Midland bank and provided security/collateral for the arrangement,” he wrote.
Mr Ambolley added that “Okyeame Kwame only took advantage of the initiative and applied for a loan from Midland bank which he was given.”
He noted that the Hiplife artiste has also paid back the loan in full.
“To the extent that my earlier statements may have affected the reputation of Okyeame Kwame, I apologize and state that the errors in my statements were not made maliciously,” Ambolley added.
