According to the report, �Nana Kwame, the host of OC Showbiz Review on Skyy Power FM, Takoradi confirmed to the reporter that, the �Tonga� song has been banned by MUSIGA. This was also confirmed to the Master Planner by the Composer himself, Joey B.�
Ghana.com can confirm that Joey B�s �Tonga� song has not been banned by the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA) as it was reported. Reacting to the story on Monday�s edition of the mid-morning show, �Brunch2Lunch� on Radio Univers, Joey B�s manager, Gee told Bra Chef, host of the show that MUSIGA has not banned the song.
He added that the false information circulating is a game plan by some media men to send a message to Charter House, organizers of Ghana Music Awards not to nominate the song for this year�s awards ceremony. He continued that the song �Tonga� is not profane and they have submitted it to Ghana Music Awards organisers.
A check by OMG!Ghana.com on MUSIGA�s twitter handle also proved that the song which features BET award-winner Sarkodie has not been banned.
