Following his successful concert over the weekend at the Grande Arena in Accra, Ghana, Sonnie Badu has been in the news for all the reasons you may think of.
One such is his comment about the lack of sponsorship for Gospel-related events. During a recent interview on Okay FM, the Minister expressed his disappointment at many who promised to support his concert, ‘Rhythms of Africa’ but yet, failed to show up when it mattered most.
One of them is Dr. Kwaku Oteng, CEO of Angel Group of Companies.
Sounding very disappointed, Sonnie Badu revealed Dr Kweku Oteng failed to honour his promise to sponsor his concert and also refused to answer his calls whenever he called despite assured promises.
“A lot of sponsors let me down, even Dr Kweku Oteng was not picking up my phone calls, he promised to sponsor, he promised to be a part of it but he didn’t pick up my phone calls. He disappointed me.”
After what seems a sober reflection on the comments, Sonnie Badu has issued an apology.
In a statement shared on his Instagram, the musician reiterated his disappointment in Dr Kwaku Oteng and explained why his (Dr Kwaku Oteng) failure to show up for the second time was quite hurting.
He also revealed it was extremely frustrating for people to credit Dr. Kwaku Oteng for the success of the event when indeed he had not made any contribution to it despite his promises.

The apology has so far not sat well with many who have since expressed their disappointment with the Minister suggesting that he deletes it since falls short of an apology.
