It\u2019s an original MUSIGA property,\u201d he said on the show.<\/p>\n<p>In an exclusive interview with www.entertainmentgh.com to react to the issue, Chris Adamah of the Public Affairs Department of MTN said the claim was false and that MTN only invited MUSIGA to partner the maiden edition of the reality show as a way of showing courtesy to the musicians\u2019 body.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t know Mr. Adu-Poku and in starting \u2018MTN Hitmaker\u2019, it was MTN\u2019s idea to bring young people who are out of school, the opportunity to show their talent to the world,\u201d an official from MTN explained.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMUSIGA came in because they were called to be partners. They are not actively involved as they were from the beginning. The help offered by MUSIGA was that during the first edition MUSIGA made their hall available,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The MTN Hitmaker is a music reality show opened to Ghanaians who believe they are primed to be hit makers. The show strives to discover and nurture the great creative potential in Ghana. Freda was crowned winner of MTN Hitmaker 6 as she made history, by setting the pace for prospective female contestants on the music reality show to go for gold. Other winners include Naterial,Togbe, Koo Ntakra, Kidi, and Kurl Songx.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 3 updated by: 3 --><\/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, 26 January 2018 Source: entertainmentgh.com 2018-01-26 The MTN Hitmaker is a music reality show that discovers, nurture great creative potentials in Ghana After 6 successful editions that have produced several amazing acts over the years, confusion is starting to brew over the original owners and creators of the music reality show \u2013 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":458686,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-458683","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458683","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=458683"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/458683\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=458683"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=458683"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.ghanamma.com\/2018\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=458683"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
