Cardi B Snub: Sandra Ankobiah Replies Critics In A Long Note

Grammy award -winning hip hop star, Cardi B, has come and gone but the aftermath of her visit is still lingering.

One of the Ghanaian popular figures who was caught up in the mess and came out to vent, Sandra Ankobiah, has come out in an attempt to clarify the issue.

A tall list of Ghanaian celebrities including Wendy Shay, Hajia 4Real, Victoria Lebene, Sandra Ankobiah, Deborah Vanessa, Afia Schwarzenegger, Moesha Boduong, Becca and Lydia Forson were reportedly invited for a Meet and Greet with Cardi B at the Kempinski Hotel but Cardi B did not show up.

Instead, according to some of the aggrieved celebrities, she was chilling out by the hotel’s pool.

However in a series of Tweets by the famous actress, she laid the blame at the doorstep of the organisers of the Livespot X concert.

Sandra Ankobiah addressed those jabbing her for being part of a long list of people who tried to meet the American rapper.

Read her tweets here:

“This could have happened to, and can happen to anyone invited to any event. And so I would imagine that the blame of the entire fiasco would be laid at the doorsteps of the organisers.

“We didn’t leave our homes to go to Kempinski on our own accord to meet Cardi B. Someone invited us there. The organisers (trusted industry people) invited us. And I would have thought the conveners of this “private lunch” would be the ones to whom all this would be directed at.

“I was invited to a “private lunch of a few selected people with Cardi b”. Time given was 1pm. I got there just after 2pm knowing how these things can get off to a late start. After about half past 2 I started asking why the event hadn’t begun.

“I was told Cardi b just arrived in Ghana a few minutes ago and so was tired and needed to freshen up for the event. She would be there at 4pm. I wasn’t happy about this but it was around 3pm by then and they ushered us into the venue to have something to eat whiles we waited.

“I had seen some friends and so wasn’t too bothered thinking we could talk and chill for about an hour whiles we waited. At 4pm when Cardi b hadn’t showed up I asked why and was told she would be there at 5. I left at that point.

“All this energy used in ridiculing the invited guests should be channelled into asking pertinent questions, especially of the organisers.
