Shatta Wale in police custody after VGMA confusion
One of the artistes at the centre of the disturbance at the 20th Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA) Charles Nii Armah, popularly known as Shatta Wale is currently in police custody.
It comes a day after he was involved in a fracas with his rival dancehall artiste Stonebwoy
Stonebwoy has also been invited by Police for questioning.
Citi News’ Hanson Agyemang reported that the two have been invited by the Accra Regional Police Command.
“We are not clear what the terms of the invitation are but it is related to yesterday’s incident. I have personally seen Shatta Wale who came in a few minutes ago. He was escorted to one of the senior officers at the station. I have been told Stonebwoy is here but I have not seen him personally,” he said.
It was not clear what triggered the fight but the audience and viewers at home saw Stonebwoy pull out a gun before walking off stage.
It started when Stonebwoy was called up the stage to receive the award for ‘Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year’ during last Saturday’s Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMA).
Reports suggest that Shatta Wale walked on the stage with his fans allegedly to congratulate Stonebwoy for the award but the move was interpreted by Stonebwoy’s team as an attempt to protest against the award going to their favorite musician.
