I\u2019m not the organiser of this whole awards thing, I don\u2019t know what they are looking for, what they think I luck and what I have to work on because I have always been working on myself and trying to mount my own stage, making sure I get the songs to the people and do what it takes to win,\u201d the rapper said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t want to speak on behalf of Charterhouse,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Asked if Charterhouse has been fair to him, Guru answered, \u201cNo. That is why I pulled [out] last year because I felt I had to work on something that maybe they thought am lucking.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>George Quaye, Head of Communications at Charterhouse, reacting to Guru\u2019s comments noted that events outfit did not receive any official statement from the artiste declaring his intention of redrawing from the awards scheme.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, they only saw the information on social media.<br \/>&#13;<br \/>\n\u201cHe pulled out as some point from this year\u2019s scheme. Well, I didn\u2019t see an official statement to that effect. I saw it on social media that he has pulled out,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>George Quaye explained further that, \u201cI personally reached [out to] him as a brother and spoke to him that there is no point in pulling out and explained the process to him, as far as I was concerned he was backing it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t remember him issuing any statement to the contrary, if he wants to pull out officially it is his prerogative, it is his work, it is not mine, it is not yours.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBut if the gentleman says for these reasons I don\u2019t want to be a part of this scheme, the best we can do is to have a discussion with him and ask him his reasons.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf after exploring and he still insist on not being part of it, there is absolutely nothing anybody can do, it is the artiste\u2019s prerogative and we would have to respect that,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 65 updated by: 65 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Tuesday, 19 September 2017 Source: Myjoyonline.com 2017-09-19 Hiplife Artiste Guru &#13; Hiplife artiste Maradona Yeboah Adjei, popularly known as Guru, is of the view that organisers of the annual Ghana Music Awards have not been fair to him.
