Mimi talks about her mentors.

Director of the Golden Movie Awards, Mimi Adani Michaels revealed that she and her husband are modelling after Charterhouse couple Iyiola Ayoade and Theresa Ayoade.

Furthermore, according to her, she and her husband, Nana Michael, who is the executive director of the Golden Movie Awards scheme, are working very hard to achieve the success the Ayoade’s have.

Moreover, she stressed on the importance of maintaining the standards of the Golden Movie Award scheme. Also, Mimi made reference to the ‘Ayoades’ as a couple that braved the storm citing the feat they have attained with their events and productions company, Charterhouse.

Mimi about emulating Charter House

“Iyiola and Theresa are the mentors of myself and my husband. They don’t even know yet but we are trying to be like them. Everything they have we have it but in a smaller version. We are yet to sit down and let them feel good about that. They’ve created another couple out of what they have done in the industry but they are not even aware.”

Mr Eazi feels some type of way about Charter House.

Nigerian afro-beats artiste, Mr Eazi stated that he rather lose at the Grammy Awards than cry over VGMA. Furthermore, this is because organisers of the event, Charter House are jokers.

Moreover, according to the singer, the scheme is not a well-recognised one. Therefore, he doesn’t have to worry himself over why he won no award at the 2017 edition.

Mr Eazi’s comments about Charter House and VGMA’s

“Charterhouse is full of jokers, how can you conclude that I am not a big artiste when I organized the biggest event (Life is Eazi Detty Rave concert) same year you nominated me for ‘Best African Artiste of the Year‘ category at the VGMA? 

If eno sey ebi Grammy wey dem nominate me wey afi say ooh I go fi win this Grammy then if I lose, it’s two things, I will say aah I’m supposed to win this award but I will be a happy boy because I got nominated for the Grammy’s and that’s the Grammy but if it’s some other awards.” 

He made these comments on Delay’s show.

Moreover, the host asked why he didn’t perform at the 2017 edition of the VGMAs. He said he was not surprised he lost the ‘Best African Artiste of the Year‘ award to RunTown. This is because Charterhouse wanted him to perform for free.

“They called my manager for me to perform at last year’s VGMAs and I told them I was on tour in the USA and if they can book flight for me to come since they were not going to give me a dime but they couldn’t oblige to that and I had stay off because I had a show that was going to pay me good money.”

Moreover, he buttresses his claim that Charter House are jokers. He stated that he organised a successful show in Ghana which recorded huge numbers. Therefore, for Charterhouse to assume that he is not a ‘big cat’ is unfathomable.

He said at this moment of his life, his only focus is to make his fans happy and make a lot of money.

I will never condemn Ernest Opoku, the lady could have contacted pastors in the country to resolve such issues if the whole of Ghana listens they can’t help you in any way.”

Rex Omar sounds his opinions.

GHAMRO President, Rex Omar expressed surprise that Patapaa’s ‘One Corner’ failed to win an award. Furthermore, this was at the just ended VGMA’s. However, he explained to Ghanaians why a situation like that could happen.

According to him, the VGMA is based on voting. It does not reward technical proficiency. However, simply those who can mobilize people to vote for them.

Therefore, Omar said a rubbish song can win many awards. And a great song would be neglected so long as the voting is the method of determination.

Patapaa’s popular ‘One Corner’ was unable to win Most Popular Song of the year at the recent awards.
