According to the organizers, Mr. Drew pulled out of the event even though he was paid 50% of the performance fee before the show.<\/p>\n

The management of Jamrok had earlier indicated in a press statement dated April 2, 2024 that \u201call was set for the event to take place but the artiste, Mr. Drew, pulled out of the event when he was to mount the stage without any reason or explanation to the organizers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The statement says upon receipt of his payment, Mr. Drew made a video of himself confirming his participation in the event.<\/p>\n

At around 12:30am, organizers say they tried calling the artiste to come and perform but there was no response from his team, hence the organizers drove to the hotel and found they were fast asleep. After sometime, Mr. Drew and his team finally came out of the hotel and sat in their car and drove off.\u201d<\/p>\n

They say they followed up but later got to know that Mr. Drew drove past the event grounds and was headed back to Accra, abandoning the event for which he had been paid.<\/p>\n
