‘IT MAKES NO SENSE TO INSULT TAABEA’ – Arnold Descends On Critics Of GMA-UK Awards

“One of the conversations that sprung up was the fact that some people were bashing Taabea for sponsoring the award [GMA-UK]. I haven’t seen this conversation lingering in the main media but I saw it mostly on social media.

“I’ve always maintained that we shouldn’t allow such conversations to influence discussions in the traditional media because it does not help. That’s when the filling of the O2 arena conversation began,” he said.

He continued: “It would be a shame for any mainstream media to mock Taabea for sponsoring the Ghana Music Awards – UK. The only personality who trolled Taabea was DJ Slim who even did it on social media. It makes no sense to criticize Taabea for sponsoring the GMA -UK awards.

“Do you know what it takes to actually sponsor an event? So we should rather applaud Taabea for sustaining the awards all these years. Because everybody involved in the awards was paid. Even those who swept the venue had something all because of the funding Taabea has invested in the award scheme,” he said.
