BET Awards winner Sarkodie and Dynamic duo R2Bees who have been billed
to Perform alongside Pan Africa group P-Square; for the Malta Guinness
sponsored “Top of the World Celebration” Concert have threatened to pull
out of the show if organizers do not pay them $20, 000 each.
According Peacefmonline.com investigations they both agreed to take
GH¢20,000 initially but they later came back today to tell Charter
House, the organizers that they meant $20,000 and GH¢20,000 and as at
the time of filing this report they were still insisting on being paid
the amount $20,000 or they will not mount the stage come Saturday
December 1.
Peacefmonline.com gather that Tema based Sarkodie and R2Bees made this
sudden change of mind when they heard how much Nigerian duo P-Square
charged to perform on the same stage. Peacefmonline.com further probe
into the matter reveals that Pan-African group P-Square charged over
$300,000 to perform on the show and this prompted the Ghanaian artistes
to also demand more.
Peacefmonline.com is reliably informed that organizers are not ready to
pay the Ghanaian artistes that much so they may ordered all media
houses to hold on with all commercials of the event which has names of
the two artistes whiles they look for other artistes to replace them, if
they are not able to come to an agreement with the two artistes by end
of today.
This was very evident yesterday evening November 28, 2012 when the two
Ghanaian artistes were conspicuously missing at Excel Night Club during
the press soiree for the event scheduled to take place come Saturday
December 1 at Independence Square in Accra.
Meanwhile headline act Peter and Paul Okoye of P-Square fame were
present to interact with press and to assure their Ghanaian fans that
they are indeed in town ahead of the big day. During their interaction
one of the duo asked why their Ghanaian colleagues Sarkodie and R2Bees
were not present at the press soiree but neither the organizers Charter
House nor officials from Malta Guinness were able give any reason for
their absence.
Peacefmonline.com investigations revealed that Sarkodie gave organizers
prior notice of his absence because he was on location in the Eastern
region shooting a new music video the same time the press soiree was
going on.
However, Peacefmonline.com was reliably informed that Tema based R2Bees
confirmed to organizers through their manger Ike that they would be
present but for some reason they decided not come.
The two artistes refused to perform last Saturday at the “Joy FM Nite
with the Stars” due to some misunderstanding backstage between Kwaw
Kesse and VIP, so their absence yesterday has raised a lot of questions
as to whether they will mount the stage on Saturday or not but as it
stands now they may not perform.
Peter and Paul however, assured the press and their Ghanaian fans that
they will perform for over 2 hours with their 11-member band with
countless dance moves and make sure that the experience will remain in
the memory of Ghanaians for a very long time.
The event is also expected to witness Ghana’s biggest flash mob yet,
with a special ‘Chop My Money’ celebration dance to go with it. Visit
