Speaking during an interview on Hitz FM on Tuesday, May 12, George Quaye argued that event organisers cannot be held responsible for the fashion choices made by celebrities attending the awards ceremony.
According to him, criticism over inappropriate or poorly styled outfits should rather be directed at the individuals involved and their stylists.
His comments come after several social media users criticized some celebrity appearances at the recent TGMA, with debates emerging online over fashion standards on Ghana’s biggest music awards stage.
“How are you now blaming Edem for what George Quaye decided to wear?” he questioned during the interview.
“Somebody said Dr. Likey dressed like he was going to the washing bay. How’s that Charterhouse’s problem?” he added while defending the organisers.
George Quaye stressed that if people are unhappy with what celebrities wear on the red carpet, the responsibility should lie solely with the celebrities and the designers or stylists who put the looks together.
“If you are uncomfortable with what people wore to the event, fight the people. Sometimes we also ought to learn to know where to put the blame,” he stated.
The media personality also used the opportunity to encourage Ghanaian fashion designers to maximize the exposure that comes with dressing celebrities for high-profile events such as the TGMA.
According to him, red carpet appearances provide an important platform for designers to showcase their creativity and market their brands to a wider audience.
Over the years, the TGMA red carpet has become one of the most talked-about aspects of the awards ceremony, often generating conversations about fashion, style, glamour, and celebrity presentation.
While some attendees receive praise for their outfits, others often become targets of criticism and online trolling.
George Quaye’s remarks have since sparked mixed reactions online. While some social media users agreed with his position that organisers should not be blamed for individual fashion choices, others argued that event organisers could still implement stricter dress standards for attendees.
The annual TGMA remains Ghana’s biggest music awards event, attracting musicians, actors, influencers, media personalities, and fashion enthusiasts from across the country.
Beyond celebrating music achievements, the event has also become a major platform for fashion statements and celebrity culture.
As discussions continue online, George Quaye believes the focus should shift from blaming organisers to encouraging celebrities and designers to make better fashion decisions on the red carpet.
