I a candid interview on Zaa Kootu with Kawastone on Zaa TV, Kulu Mallangah, the CEO of North Got Talent (NGT), revealed an intriguing development concerning the reality show’s judging panel this year. According to Mallangah, DJ Carlos, a seasoned judge of the show, must now pay a fee if he wants to reclaim his spot on the panel.

Explaining his decision, Mallangah stated that NGT has grown beyond its initial scope, garnering significant influence and reach beyond Northern Ghana. He emphasized the transformative impact the program has on its participants, whether contestants or judges, hinting that the platform now carries a value worth investing in. Reflecting on DJ Carlos’s exit from the panel last year due to personal interests, Mallangah declared, “I can’t let him just walk back in now that the program has grown and holds even greater value.”

This condition, as Mallangah put it, is a way to ensure commitment and maintain the high standards of the program. Whether DJ Carlos will comply and return to the panel remains to be seen, but one thing is certain: North Got Talent is redefining how it values those who play a role in its success, signaling a new era for the show.
