Ghanaian rapper, Sarkodie, is dragging Charterhouse to the cleaners, as he has expressed his disappointment and shock over the VGMA indefinite ban placed on Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy.

According to the “Highest” rapper who went on a Twitter rant, he thinks that Charterhouse and its VGMAs board were too quick and harsh to penalize the acts involved without sharing part of the blame as well.

In one of his tweets, he said, “Charter house y’all don’t have to act that quick with your decision cos we could do same to you ...”, insinuating that, the acts in a hasty reaction could have equally boycotted the VGMAs as well.

In other tweets, the top-notch rapper chastised the VGMAs organizers for even creating the atmosphere for a lot of fans to be always paraded in the auditorium with acts during the awards night.

According to him, when it happens that way, scuffles are very likely to ensue like what happened when Shatta Wale’s and Stonebwoy’s teams clashed on stage. He cited the Grammys as an example of an event that is widely open to all fans.

However, the rapper added that he understands the needs for Charterhouse to sell tickets to raise some funds to run the events but advocated that it should be looked at.

We can condemn our brothers on their acts but we can’t rule out the root cause that provided that environment for the unfortunate incident... Charter house can’t leave all blames on the artists . NO!!

Earlier I was encouraging companies to support a lot more with their sponsorships and my tweets might seem all over the place and mayb not even make sense but with this charter house decision, I think we gotto say it as it is ...

Supporters of football are allowed to come support at the stadium but not at award nights where same teams and individual players are been awarded ... it’s not done

First off all big award shows like the Grammys BET MTV etc don’t open to the public to just buy tickets and come to the event ( and its for a reason )... it’s not a concert ... first mistake by Charter house pic.twitter.com/k8hkOpCmej

As much as award nights are meant to celebrate artists, it stairs up a lot of emotions and therefore you wanna create the right environment to contain that

Charter house sell tickets for award show which is wrong ( but I only understand due to lack of funds to put up a top notch event like the vgma ) but it still doesn’t make it right

Cos to have our fans in the same building with us receiving awards you know that could go left

Caf awards don’t open to the public so if you are a foot ball fan, you can cheer from home and when you disappointed , you can deal with that at home too

To my point I was making earlier , charter house needs enough funds to make this show happen and that’s why I plead with sponsors to go in a bit more so we can still maintain this prestigious award ceremony and keep the standards high ...

But for charter house to push blame on our brothers and leave their faults out , that’s wrong ... Security was bad and a whole lot I don’t wanna go into ...

Charter house y’all don’t have to act that quick with your decision cos we could do same to you ... My wish is for both sides ( we as artists and you as organizers ) to work on our mistakes and not one side taking a harsh decision 🙏🏾
