Reggae Dancehall Artiste, Stonebwoy has bemoaned Ghana’s unsuccessfulness in signing a deal to become a founding member of the recently announced Grammys Africa initiative.
According to him, Ghana being a founding member of this imperative initiative will provide great benefits and economic potentials for the Growth and expansion of Ghana’s creative industry.
The Artiste of the Year for the 25th TGMA in a tweet questioned Ghana’s inability to become a founding member.
He further expressed gratitude to Dentaa Amoateng and others for their support in providing such an opportunity for Ghana.
Stonebwoy wondered how it was impossible for Ghana to raise funds to pay and seal its service agreement to be part of the crucial initiative with potential expansion of Ghana’s creative.
“The Governments of Nigeria, Rwanda, South Africa have all Paid and sealed their service agreements to become founding members.
“The big question is WHY NOT GHANA?? CAN GOV’T NOT RAISE THE MONEY?? CAN GOV’T ASK PRIVATE SEC TO HELP RAISE THE MONEY?? IS IT NOT IMPORTANT BE A PART OF THIS?” he tweeted on Friday, June 28.
Earlier in June, Senior consultant to the President and CEO of the Recording Academy (Grammys), Akosua Dentaa Amoateng disclosed that Ghana is currently not among the African nations listed as the founding members for the Grammy Africa initiative.
