I Did Not Demand Money To Support Tramadol Campaign – Patapaa Rubbishes Claims
The incessant abuse of the popular ‘Pain killing drug’, Tramadol, has become a canker that has found its way among the youth of the society.
Several celebrities have taken it upon themselves to campaign against the abuse of the drug.
Some are embarking on ‘Say No To Tramadol Abuse’ campaign in some selected high schools across the country.
We however reported about a tweet by ace broadcaster and pioneer of the campaign against Tramadol abuse about Swedru-based artiste, Patapaa Amisty,now Patapeezy.
“Patapaa and his manager say until they’re paid “Patapaa will not add his voice to the campaign against the abuse of tramadol”, Nana Aba tweeted
This however, didn’t go down well with fans of the ‘One Corner’ hitmaker. They, therefore took so social media to express their disappointment at their icon.
But Patapeezy has come out to rubbish this assertion. According to him, he never demanded for money as a precondition supporting the campaign against the abuse of Tramadol.
Instead, he explained that he was approached by a lady who requested that he endorses a concept. Meanwhile, his manager had no idea of this, hence his refusal.
He further stated that, the lady didn’t make any effort to contact his manager. As a result, he made it clear to her that there will be no such endorsement. This, he added is because, doing so might infringe his managerial contract.
Patapaa’s manager, Gershon Mortey has confirmed also confirmed the artist’s position.
Gerson explained that Nana Aba Anamoah hasn’t made any contact to ask his camp to engage in “Abuse of Tramadol” campaign. Hence he finds it difficult to fathom why she would put up such a post to defame his artiste.
“Nana Aba has not called me or sent anyone to inform me on an abuse of tramadol campaign. She could have used the right channel to reach me so we talk about that”, Mr Mortey explained to Adomonline.com in an interview.
