Ghanaians who saved the date, December 8, 2019 as the
official turn up event for the Year of Return where left disappointed due to
the poor organization of the highly anticipated ‘Livespot X Festival’ which saw
Cardi B for the first time perform in Ghana.
People who trooped into the Accra Sports Station to witness
the “historic event” at the end of the day rated it as the greatest flop in
Ghana's entertainment industry.
Ghanaian ‘giant artistes’ Shatta Wale and Sarkodie who were
billed to perform at the event failed to grace the stage. The MCs of the day
kept the hopes of fans high by continuously instructing their DJs to play the
songs of these artistes while chanting, “Are you ready to see Shatta Wale and Sarkodie?".
The ‘not so impressed crowd’ ignorantly cheered on by giving
the loudest shouts with their very last energy.
Disappointment was written on the faces of individuals who
stood for hours waiting to witness their favorite Ghanaian artistes’ performance.
After hours of waiting, people began to leave the stadium
symbolizing the end of the show without any official sign out from organizers.
Fans rained insults on the organizers with some calling for
a refund of their monies used in the purchase of tickets which ranged from
GHC50 to GHC800.
“I don’t know what to say, they told us a whole lot... I was
expecting Patoranking and Shatta Wale, I am very disappointed because I bought
the ticket with my hard-earned money. The organizers didn’t even tell us we’ve
closed or something, I just stood there all these hours and now we are just
going home because we are tired of standing”, stated a disappointed fan.
Other agitated fans after waiting for close to two hours
without any word or performance from any of the artistes backstage reacted by
throwing plastic bottles on the stage. Others followed suit with more plastic
bottles and water being splashed on the stage.
It took the intervention of Grammy award winner, Cardi B’s
timely performance to save the day. She was quickly introduced on stage in an
attempt to calm the nerves of the angry crowd.
GhanaWeb interacted with some individuals who had boycotted
the show after long hours of standing and this was what they had to say:
“Other artistes that we were expecting together with the
likes of Shatta, Sarkodie and Patoranking and the other people are not here.
This has been the greatest flop ever; I feel this program has been a
flop."
“The artiste that a lot of people were expecting to be on
the show didn’t turn up. I think that is a total disrespect from the artiste…
those artistes from tomorrow should come publicly and apologise to their fans
who have travelled and paid tickets to come and watch them.”
“The show was a flop because Shatta Wale wasn’t here. I was
expecting to see him, I am a fan. I came here to see him."
“I am disappointed. Why should I pay GHC50? Just take a look
at the grounds, I can’t tell if the show has ended, they haven’t said a word. I
paid GHC50, I could have used the money to buy food tomorrow,” a
much-disappointed lady shared her experience.
Earlier in the day, Ghanaian celebrities, most people on
social media got really pissed with the American rapper with some even
threatening to boycott the show just because kept them waiting for hours for
their scheduled meet and greet
Cardi B later showed up and fficially apologized to the
celebrities who came for the meet and greet but didn’t have the chance stating
that she was never made aware of the fact that she would be having a greet and
meet with some Ghanaian celebs.
