The Chief Executive Officer of the Taabea Ghana Awards UK, Eric Nii Tetteh, popularly known as Alordia, has confirmed that he paid Shatta Wale £80,000 as performance fee for this year’s award ceremony.
He made this confirmation while speaking to Kwame Dadzie on Joy FM’s Twitter (X) Spaces show dubbed ‘Joy Entertainment Unpacked’ on Wednesday, October 11, 2023.
Asked if Shatta Wale named the correct amount of money he paid to him, Alordia answered in the affirmative.
“He mentioned it. Yes, he mentioned it,” he said.
The amount raised a lot of hackles as some doubted the organizers could afford it. This comes after Shatta Wale, while celebrating his win at the event, made an announcement of how much he was paid.
Alordia on the show indicated that apart from Taabea, his scheme had a lot of sponsors that made it easier for them to afford a fee as high as £80,000 for their artistes.
Reacting to the brouhaha in town surrounding the exact amount Shatta Wale was paid for his appearance at the UK Ghana Awards, Ruthy has cautioned Alordia to be very careful when dealing with Shatta Wale.
According to Ruthy, Shatta Wale y3 Cobra and can’t be trusted; He’ll betray Alordia soon considering his past relationship with Baba Sadiq, formerly of 3Music Awards.
As a reminder, the 2023 Taabea Ghana Awards was held at the Royal Regency in London on October 7, 2023.
Shatta Wale emerged winner of the overall Artiste of the Year category. The Ghana Awards UK, founded 6 years ago is a platform for Ghanaians in the United Kingdom to celebrate Ghanaian musicians both in Ghanaian and in the UK.
