Flowking Stone says organisers delayed him
Rapper, Flowking Stone was billed to perform at the event held at the Baba Yara sports stadium in Kumasi but reported late.
He was therefore asked by the organisers to shorten his performance.
Flowking Stone who was unhappy about the development expressed his displeasure right on stage saying, organisers always disrespects Kumasi artistes.

This attitude according to George Quaye was uncalled for, for which reason he took to Facebook to express himself.
“Indiscipline is;1. When an artiste fails to report to event venues on time 2. Fails to understand, appreciate and accommodate the challenges of 'his employer' (whoever is paying for the gig he's playing) and rather responds to it by childishly spewing some brand demeaning 'garbage' on stage.3. Disrespects and plays the rather childish tribe card on stage because he refuses to understand the concept of 'he that pays the Piper calls the tune' 4. When an artiste/his or her manager allows all manner of 'hooligans' to flood or flank his or her performance stage as though they desperately need that brief moment of fame to live till eternity.
Lack of exposure, coordination, craft and showmanship is;1. When an artist mounts the stage with only a show CD and no art whatsoever. 2. When an artiste feels that at every opportunity, he or she must perform an entire album plus songs that haven't even been written yet. 3. When an artiste refuses to gauge the response of his audience and perform accordingly. 4. When an artiste cannot tell the differences between various types of shows. Every show has its unique brand, identity, deliverables and expectations. You can't play them all the same way.
And oh, finally, event organizers, me included should also learn to understand that having 101 artistes on one show, doesn't always, necessarily make it the best show ever organized. Sometimes just a few very good artistes makes a show more memorable and appreciable. It's always best to leave the fans/audience begging for more than asking themselves "when are we closing...?"
Come Tuesday on THE PUNDITS, I will step on a toe or two...and rightly so. Like my good friend says, !
