Media producer Ola Michael announced plans for a solo protest should Charterhouse revisit the 2019 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards Artist of the Year announcement. Michael voiced these concerns during his appearance on United Showbiz at UTV. The entertainment figure described that evening as deeply shameful for Ghana's music industry. International dignitaries witnessed the disruption between dancehall performers Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy. The confrontation culminated when Stonebwoy displayed a weapon during the live broadcast.
Charterhouse withdrew both the Artist of the Year and Most Popular Song categories following the incident. Michael emphasized that six nominees competed for the award that night. He stressed that legitimate winners require official stage announcements. The ceremony never completed this process due to the chaos. Michael urged performers to abandon attempts at claiming the disputed recognition and warned against reopening past wounds from that traumatic evening.
