VGMA gun saga: Police detains Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale The Accra Regional Police Command has detained reggae and dancehall artistes Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale over gun-related violence at the Vodafone Ghana Music Awards (VGMAs) held on Saturday, 18 May 2019. The two artistes, were invited by the police on Sunday afternoon and detained. According to ClassFMonline.com sources, the two will be arraigned on Tuesday, 21 May 2019. Background The 20th edition of the VGMAs nearly turned bloody when fans of Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale engaged in near-fisticuffs over an award. The confusion happened when Stonebwoy was announced as the Reggae Dancehall Artiste of the Year. Shatta Wale and his fans approached the podium to, ostensibly congratulate Stonebwoy, but events turned chaotic resulting in a lot of pushing and shoving – a situation that prompted Stonebwoy to pull out his pistol. The security officers at the event pepper-sprayed the stage in an attempt to prevent a full-blown fight.
