OMG....IS THIS TRUE????CHATTER HOUSE DENIES THE FACT THAT THEY PAY INTERNATIONAL ARTISTES HUGE AMOUNTS

The VGMA has come to an end and of course some issues have been brought up, and some of them are the reason why Chatter House pay's out huge money to international acts but pay's little amounts to our Ghanaian acts.
According to the Director of Productions at Charter House, Nii Ayitey Hammond, all the international artistes including P-square, D’banj, Wizkid, Iyanya, Davido, Awilo and others who have performed at the main event of Ghana Music Awards are not paid for their services. He disclosed to Bra Chef on Radio Univers that “if they are coming to perform at the awards night, they don’t charge us and we don’t pay them. All we do is, we ensure that we take care of their flight, their
accommodations, their per diem and give them their honorarium because they understand that it is an awards night”.
He continued that international artistes are paid commercial fees when they are hired for other concerts in Ghana aside music awards.
He however stated that Ghanaian acts are paid commercial fees due them for their services at any of Ghana Music Awards events.
“Every Ghanaian act you see perform on any of the being it the nominees jam, the industry awards and the final events are paid”
“Obviously they will charge and us and we will negotiate so when we come into an agreement, then we put the money through” Nii Ayitey Hammond added.
