“I wasn’t invited so I guess I wasn’t part of their musical team. Meanwhile, I did an album with them [Tagoe Sisters] so I was supposed to have been there. They didn’t even call to tell me and nothing came.
“I just saw the publicity on social media and a lot of billboards some at East Legon. So those who were invited went but I wasn’t invited maybe I guess | wasn’t part of their musical team,” he said.
Asked whether he feels disappointed or pained by the decision of Tagoe Sisters not to invite him he laughed and responded:
“Yes [I’m pained], because why would you do that? We just need to give each other the respect due them.”
