Popular Artiste manager and entertainment pundit, Lawrence Asiamah Hanson, popularly known as Bulldog has slammed Reggae/Dancehall artist Stonebwoy for what he terms as disrespect to Talent managers.
Appearing as a guest on UTV’s United Showbiz With actress Nana Ama Mcbrown, Stonebwoy questioned if any Artiste manager in Ghana could produce a certificate to back his or her craft.
This assertion did not go down well with Bulldog, the artiste manager for dancehall king Shatta Wale, who resorted to social media to vent his frustrations.
Bulldog schooled Stonebwoy that one does not require a certificate to be an artiste manager, calling for respect from the award winning dancehall act.
He Wrote:The general disregard to Artiste Management as a profession, on United Showbiz the most watched and talked about TV Talk Show in Ghana hosted by seasoned and award winning actress, Empress Nana Ama McBrown on UTV, Ghana’s leading, most patronised and best-loved award winning television channel by one of Ghana’s top musical exports, Stonebwoy was so unfortunate.
If you have a situation with your management team please don’t generalise it.
To say which artiste manager in Ghana can show a certificate for management was distasteful and unschooled.
Let us learn to respect each other’s contribution in this space.
You were on the moral high ground about ‘disrespect in the game’ kindly heed to your counsel.
I’m not sure it will be appropriate for one to seek for an artiste’s certificate for them to be referred to as or become one.
Talent management is the knowledge or skill obtained from a period of practical experience with talents, especially that gained in a particular profession.
One’s handiwork and attainment in their chosen field makes them a master of their trade and not a certificate in form of a document.
Their unceasing success in their field of work is all the certification they require.
How joyous it would be to ask for a presidential certificate… 😂 😂
Talent management is a labour of love. Their efforts don’t generate into streams or laurels for themselves so their contribution to the grandiose victory is easily overlooked.
Talent Managers aren’t celebrated in this country because their tale of toil don’t get told.
I am a CERTIFIED TALENT MANAGER without a certificate.
God bless the entertainment space and all stakeholders.
