Multimedia Group Apologises To Shatta Wale

The management of Multimedia Group Limited has apologised to Shatta Wale over a letter purported to have come from the outfit requesting that the dancehall artiste refund money paid him after he left the 2015 OLD SKUUL REUNION stage without finishing his performance.

Shatta was said to have left the stage few minutes after he mounted it due to a technical challenge.

According to the letter, Shatta Wale was required to make a full refund of GHC19,400 – the estimated sum covers air tickets for four (4), Contract sum of GHC 15,000 and cost of hotel rooms  

But speaking on Hitz News at 1, Programmes Manager of Hitz FM [a subsidiary of Multimedia], Mark Okraku-Mantey said the letter was not an official document from the company. He apologised to the artiste and his management, adding that it will be unfair to Shatta Wale should the company take such an action.

“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 said.

“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.
