Usher after his stage performance introduced Oxlade, Pheelz and Tiwa Savage on stage before leaving stage. This act did not really sit well with some Ghanaians as they register their displeasure about the situation.

Criss Waddle in reaction to this penned down his displeasure about Usher projecting Nigerian musicians in Ghana.

According to him, there were a couple of Ghanaian musicians Usher Raymond could have projected on stage but he chose to project Nigerian musicians in Ghana, this he finds very unfortunate and displeasing.

He has since the arrival of Usher lamented why the musician has failed to promote anything Ghana on his social media.
