Yaa Pono ‘booted’ from stage

Rapper Yaa Pono has been booted off stage during a concert after the premiere of ‘Pastor Paul’, a movie in which he featured at Alliance Francaise.

Yaa Pono joined other performers on stage during a performance to sing but stayed less than a minute and got off the stage.

Apparently he was asked to leave the stage by the music director who was not happy with Yaa Pono’s attitude prior to the event.

According to Jules David Bartkowski, director of the movie, “our music director was not happy with Yaa Pono’s attitude leading up to the event so he was not happy when Pono came on stage”.

On his part, Yaa Pono denied being sacked but said the organizer wanted him to pay some amount of money before performing.

He spoke to Black Eye on Daybreak Hitz on Hitz FM.

He said, “I went for rehearsal but on that day a lot happened and I didn’t know that we had to pay some money before performing and many others. So when I got on stage, the man already had problems so when he stopped the music, I just put the microphone down and walked away”.

The rapper said the music director’s attitude on stage was unprofessional. “In the end he shows his unprofessionalism”, Pono said.

Yaa Pono featured in a comic movie ‘Pastor Paul’ alongside Wanlov the Kubolor and Anoff Panji that was premiered at a venue where all artistes in the movie performed after the premiere except Yaa Pono.

Meanwhile, patrons who attended the premiere said they struggled to get the message in the movie.

One patron said, “Honestly, it was pretty confusing, I didn’t get the plot and it’s like one of those books where you don’t really read, you just look at the pictures and when you are done, you are happy”.

Another patron said, “I didn’t understand it, maybe I was just excited because Wanlov was part of it”.

“I’m still processing what I watched”, another said.

However, the director of the movie said the idea was to leave people confused. Jules David Bartkowski said, “It’s supposed to leave you confused and that is part of why we made the film. If you leave with more questions than answers, we’ve done our job”.
