After previous postponements, the maiden edition of the Accra Nightlife Awards finally took place on Saturday night but without its much-advertised headlining act, American rapper Cassidy.
According to a source close to the organizers, the rapper was due to arrive in Ghana on Thursday for the nominations party but wasn�t able to do so due to some personal challenges back home in America.
His management agreed to reschedule for arrival in Ghana on Friday and again there was no show. On the Saturday, frantic efforts were made to reach Cassidy�s management but there was no luck throughout the day.
According to the source, the organizers were deeply disappointed in Cassidy and are looking forward for a refund of fees already paid to his management team.
The Accra Nightlife Awards was originally billed for January and but was postponed to February 16, which saw Cassidy making headlines around the world when he tweeted about going to Ghana/ Africa to perform.
