Ebony’s manager, Ricky Nana Agyeman, popularly known as bullet has taken a swipe at artistes demanding ‘performance fees’ to perform at Ebony’s Tribute Concert happening at Trade Fair on March 23 in Accra.
The member of the now defunct Ruff & Smooth vented his anger on Facebook, saying he couldn’t understand why some artistes would want to be paid when they had already showcased their love for Ebony to the world.
According to him, some of the artistes came to the “one week memorial” of Ebony to flaunt themselves due to the live telecast and the number of people at the event.

“Some of our Ghanaian artistes are hypocrite, you came to Ebony’s one week observation because the numbers were there and again it was being telecast live on air so some of you came there to use the platform.
Now you’re asking me to pay you for her tribute concert. I thought you loved her as you claimed on stage at her one week. This is pure hypocrisy. Big thanx to every artistes who has decided to support us. We are grateful. #EbonyIToldYouSomeGhArtisteAreNotReal #RIPEbony #RuffRecords #Midastouchinc”
