Musician ST is unhappy with the management of the Independence Stadium. Sources close to the popular musician have told The Fatu Network that ‘all options are on the table, including legal action’ against Stadium authorities who have refused him access to the Stadium pitch for his mega album launching.
The flagship event is the country’s biggest musical concert in the calendar year and music lovers look forward to it with great anticipation.
‘’ST made an advanced payment of 40% about six months and was issued receipts’’, said one person who is familiar with the situation.
The person added: “From what I gathered, they are engaging the services of a top lawyer and will claim millions of dalasis in damages. These people have invested a lot of money and resources towards hosting the show at the stadium. So what will happen to the more than 15, 000 flyers and other branded materials should the venue change?”
The management of the Independence Stadium said allowing ST’s album launching will damage the pitch.
ST and his team are engaging the services of a top lawyer and will claim millions of dalasis in damages because according to reports a lot of money and resources have been invested by the musician towards hosting the show at the stadium.
Our source added that the musician’s team is upset and feels targeted by the Stadium authorities given that other artists and groups are being allowed to use the place. Nigerian musician Kiss Daniel had a concert at the same place last month. The political party of the President, the National People’s Party, will be launched there on Saturday.
The Fatu Network visited the General Manager of the Independence Stadium Ebou Faye in his office on Thursday about the issue but he said his management is not saying anything about it.
