Shatta Wale asserted that he saw the posture as disrespectful to his brand and therefore took the money as a gift.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t have a contract with CAF. Nobody had contacted me. Two days to the event, then someone contacted me that CAF is offering $30,000. I have worked with CAF before and I know they don\u2019t do things like that. Some of us should be very careful in this country. We are killing ourselves. I need to be paid well. This is my home. I have taken the money and nobody can take it from me because I didn\u2019t sign any contract with anybody. I don\u2019t know why somebody can just go and collect $30,000, come and give it to me and tell me to go and perform while I\u2019ve not seen my contract.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen they (CAF) wanted me in Nigeria last year, they wrote emails two months to the event before we were able to seal a deal. We had a schedule. Here in Ghana, two days to the event, someone will call me and say he has $30,000, rush and come meet my manager. As a smart man, I\u2019ll save the $30,000 first and that\u2019s what I did. I then asked them to go and bring the contract to show who agreed that I take such an amount for a show of that nature. So disrespectful!.\u201d Shatta Wale told Zylofon FM.<\/p>\n<p>Shatta Wale said his manager convinced him to go perform but what angered him was the fact that he was not allowed to do sound-check.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe were told we can\u2019t have our sound check because they had closed. Meanwhile, the Nigerian acts had been allowed to do theirs. I drove my car and came back home. I don\u2019t like nonsense!.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ghanaian Singer, Efya was the opening act at the 2017 CAF Awards.<\/p>\n<p>She sang the National anthem of host country, Ghana to begin proceedings for the awards scheme held at the Accra International Conference Centre, on Thursday, January 4, 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Togo\u2019s Toofan, Fally Ipupa from DR Congo, Patoranking, Wizkid, Tiwa Savage, Olamide, Phyno and Flavour, all from Nigeria also performed at the event.<\/p>\n<p>The show was \u2018closed\u2019 with a performance by Ghanaian act, Kidi.<\/p>\n<p>The ceremony was attended by His Excellency, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, and other high-profiled personalities.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 31 updated by: -1 --><\/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 Friday, 5 January 2018 Source: kasapafmonline.com 2018-01-05 Shatta Wale Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has revealed there was no contract between him and CAF.
