Ghanaian artist, Sista Afia, has expressed disappointment and pain over Fancy Gadam’s absence at her recent Tamale concert.
Despite the existing tension, she attempted to collaborate with both Fancy Gadam and Macasio, prominent figures known for their rivalry in the Tamale music scene.
Macasio withdrew due to a scheduling conflict, but Sista Afia negotiated with Fancy Gadam, who initially demanded GH¢100,000.
After reducing the fee by half, Fancy Gadam agreed to participate. However, he ultimately failed to show up on the event day, impacting the concert’s success, as all attempts to reach him and his team have been ignored.
“Fancy and Macasio are the fans favorite in Tamale and without any of them at your show, nobody is gonna leave their house. The attendance was poor and I felt I was sabotaged. He was very close to me, I know him personally so I was obviously affected by what he did. The amount he charged me his fellow artiste is outrageous, but my team were ready to pay immediately, but he just decided not to come”.
She noted that Fancy has not apologized to her or her team nor provided an explanation for the no-show. She expressed sorrow over the incident, deeming it an avoidable and embarrassing situation.
Sista Afia, in light of the country advocating for peace in the creative arts industry, voiced her opinion that such attitudes should not be tolerated.
