Rocky Dawuni stated to Nhyira FM in Kumasi that he believes the event organizers are unwilling to pay him because they lack the fund.
βIt has nothing to do with money,β Rocky Dawuni said. βSomeone asked the same question, and I told them I have no control over whether or not the event organizer will book me.β
He claims that because he has no influence over the event organizersβ actions, he can do nothing to encourage them to hire him to perform.
βI donβt have any power over that. But we should ask any event planner why Rocky Dawuni isnβt booked for events even though heβs been nominated for Grammys three times. β,Β he asked.
