The National Sports Authority’s (NSA) Director-General, Prof. Peter Twumasi, has revealed that no musician has yet reserved the Accra Sports Stadium for a concert.
His remark follows an altercation between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy over the Accra Sports Stadium reservation.
Shatta Wale, in a video that has gone viral, was captured lambasting Stonebwoy while accusing him of sabotage and intentionally holding his yearly BHIM concert at the same location and roughly at the same time as his Freedom Wave Festival.
However, the NSA director claims that no reservations have been made for the stadium or that the authority has yet to sign a deal with any artists.
He made this statement in an exclusive interview with GhanaWeb, which was monitored by 1Family Radio.
“If the sports authority is helping them and they are creating problems for me, the two of them—none of them has a contract with us,’’ he said.
“We are yet to sign a contract, so don’t bothers us too much. For now, they are going through the process of getting the contract with the NSA; it’s not even done yet.’’
He furthered, “If you write a letter and request a space theme, we will look at it and see whether we can offer it to you or not, but we don’t have authority over what we can offer and what we cannot.’’
“We are thinking that the stadium is multi-purpose in use, and over the years, we have been accommodating artists bit by bit, so it shouldn’t create any controversies unless they are just using it to promote their shows,’’ he added.
