The artiste’s decision was informed by consistent technical challenge which occurred few minutes after he mounted the stage.

A letter from lawyers for Multimedia, BELIEB & BELIEB which leaked requested a full refund of GHC19,400 for abandoning the stage. The estimated sum covered air tickets for four (4), contract sum of GHC 15,000 and cost of hotel rooms for four.

But Mark Okraku-Mantey, Programmes Manager of Hitz FM, a subsidiary of Multimedia, on Tuesday apologised to the artiste and his management. According to Okraku-Mantey, the said letter was not an official document from the company.

“A document leaked in the name of Multimedia that we wanted him to refund the money. It was not an official document so we want to apologise to Shatta Wale and his management. That document did not come officially from us,” he stated.

“We were unhappy it happened. But thinking through, we realised it will be unfair to go hard on the young man for not finishing his performance because it was not his fault,” Mark Okraku-Mantey added.
