All hell broke loose when Head of Public Events and Communications at Charterhouse Robert Klah met Entertainment pundit and blogger Arnold Asamoah-Baidoo on set during a conversation on United Showbiz regarding this year’s Vodafone Ghana Music Award.
Arnold Asamoah Baidoo was uncertain about what criteria were used in nominating certain artists by quizzing Robert ‘Show us how DJ Azonto and Chief One managed to earn their spot in that category. Tell us the songs that were used to push them to that spot’
The tone of the question apparently did go down well with Robert who replied “Is it a demand? If this is how you want to be talking, I won’t listen to you. If you like, you can die! Speak well so that we can have a conversation. Relax and bring up your concerns, Relax! I don’t know where you’re carrying this to because at the end of the day, I can choose not to listen and my employers will even be happy with me and they will even give me an increment in pay. I am not even you to please you Arnold”
The charged Robert would go on by adding “Anybody can speak and I will listen. The whole Ghana can speak and I will listen but I can choose not to mind you at the end of the day, I am not getting any value from you. You have to learn how to speak. Stop shouting and relax! I drove my own car, I bought my own fuel to this place so don’t just speak because you think I am available.
Arnold Asamaoh Baidoo would then ask his question again but in a more relaxed tone ‘Robert, in all humility, I’d like to know what songs earned Chief One and DJ Azonto a spot in the ‘Best New Artiste Category?’
A calm Robert would then answer “In the year under review, our research captured tremendous works from these folks. Unfortunately, they couldn’t make the cut in terms of the songs but they were very prominent. So in the wisdom of the board and the guideline, they were given the opportunity to feature in the ‘Best New Artist of the Year category”
