In a bold move that has sparked conversations across the Upper East Region, Alaye Geng, under the management of Up Records GH, has officially withdrawn from this year’s Upper East Music Awards (UEMA-HMB). The group made this announcement through a press release on their social media handles, stating their decision to prioritize charitable initiatives over participating in the prestigious awards scheme.
The statement expressed gratitude to fans who have supported them and even contributed financially toward their nominations. However, the management emphasized that these funds will be redirected toward their annual charity donations rather than the awards voting process. This strategic move, according to Up Records GH, reflects their commitment to channeling resources into impactful and meaningful ventures beyond industry accolades.
While the group insists that their withdrawal is not a slight to the UEMA-HMB, fans and stakeholders are already reading between the lines. Some see this as a subtle critique of the awards system, while others praise Alaye Geng for prioritizing social responsibility over industry politics. Whatever the case, this decision is bound to provoke strong reactions within the entertainment circles of the Upper East Region. Watch him speak below,
