– –<\/span><\/p>\n\u201cIt is unfortunate that people think when you sing in Twi or Fante over a Dancehall or Reggae beats it automatically makes it Highlife music. That is not true but it has become the norm over the years because these are the kinds of music VGMA rewards.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cToday, if anyone wants to have an idea of what Ghana represents in terms of music, I bet the person will not count any Highlife artiste since all the perceived big acts currently are not doing Highlife.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have buried our own and pursuing Dancehall music and the likes and interestingly, the VGMA has been promoting the agenda by rewarding such artistes with the topmost prizes,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
KOD who wasn\u2019t happy with Ambolley\u2019s comment has descended on him. In a post on Facebook he said; <\/p>\n
\u201cSuch nonsense!<\/p>\n
\u201cWhich awards scheme has projected our music industry like VGMA since independence? How many have projected our musicians beyond GH. How many have consistently done more than 10 years?\u201d.<\/p>\n
– –<\/span>
\n<\/p>\nSome of our musicians have failed to evolve and quick to blame others for their personal mishaps. When was the last time he released an album? He should be blaming some of the radio stations who don\u2019t even play our music.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cPeople should look at evolving and projecting themselves instead of pointing accusing fingers.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAmbulley should be bigger than this petty comment and should check how he discredits his fellow industry colleagues too. You\u2019re a true celebrity. Don\u2019t go this path Sir.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAs one of our last of our greats left, this is below him\u201d.<\/p>\n
