That is not true but it has become the norm over the years because these are the kinds of music VGMA rewards,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The veteran singer further added;<\/p>\n<p>\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. We 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<\/p>\n<p>KOD strongly disagreed with his stance and used Facebook to expose his false claim. He wrote a lengthy letter on Facebook to humiliate Ambolley, which prompted Ambolley to respond. Ambolley was saddened by KOD\u2019s remarks and wondered if he would ever be able to represent Ghana as a fashion designer on a global scale. He declared;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see Okyere Darko as a child. He is shallow-minded, the reason why he said those things. I am going on a European tour in May next year. My music, Gyedu-Blay Ambolley\u2019s music, and in June, I will be back on tour. Ambolley said. So when he sits and talks, can he take his clothes on tour as a designer like the way I am going on tour with my music? Can he take his DJing on tour like the way I am going on tour with my music? If these people talk, you know they are shallow minds.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a recent development, KOD used his preferred platform to respond to hateful insults directed at him. (Facebook). The Disc Jockey asserted that although Mr. Ambolley was currently choosing violence, he would act honorably by ignoring him.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">&#8211;  &#8211;<\/span><br \/>\n<!-- ResponsiveAll --><\/p>\n<p>\u201cAmbolley wants vawulence. Comparing records?? \ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude02 Maybe I won\u2019t mind him,\u201d he posted. However, in reacting to comments by a fan who insisted he showed the 76-year-old some respect by merit of his age and status, KOD revealed that he had the right to reprimand an \u201cungrateful grandfather\u201d \u201cI\u2019d still straighten up an ungrateful grandfather. I fed him before and promoted him for 30 years.
