Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of 3Music Awards, Mr Sadiq Abdulai Abu passed by Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM on Wednesday, April 4, 2019 and made a resounding revelation.
Shatta Wale during recently held 3Music Awards bagged 8 awards, a record-setting gesture that surprised many Ghanaians.
Some patrons after the awards scheme lambasted the 3Music Board, insisting it was a deliberate move to award the Dancehall act, but the CEO has rubbished the claim.

He disclosed that it was the public votes that pushed Shatta Wale to win the 8 awards, adding, many industry players who constitute the Board and Academy voted him out compared to Stonebwoy.
“The public helped Shatta Wale win the awards, not the Board. He (Shatta Wale) didn’t get enough votes from the Board and Academy,” Mr Abu revealed.
“Shatta Wale didn’t get enough votes from the Board and Academy, I plan to meet him to tell him that he’s no more winning the hearts of industry players so should work on it. Stonebwoy has massive industry love when it comes to Board and Academy voting, he gets lots of votes but Shatta amasses more votes from the public,” he added.

Mr Abu also explained that the public had 60 per cent voting rights, hence pained musicians should stop blaming the Board and Academy for losing out.
According to him, the 60 per cent decision gives fans the chance of having a say in who wins what at the 3Music Awards.
Shatta Wale, reacting to Mr Abu’s statement tweeted, “Aaaahhhh now Ghana will know…no wonder Ghanaians will always vote for President and not Parliament. Funny industry.. Like if u do shows don’t include the public errrhh @Hitz1039FM if Ibe public like ago win aaaa [sic].”
