Amaarae walks out of ‘Taste of Culture’ event over prolonged delays

Singer Amaarae pulled out of the “Taste of Culture” event after what her team described as unacceptable delays in the programme, a decision her mother and manager says was taken to protect the artiste’s standards and professionalism.

Amaarae’s mother and manager, Ama Bawuah, explained that the organisers failed to keep to agreed timelines, despite the singer’s readiness to perform.

“She doesn’t subscribe to mediocrity. She invests in preparation, and yet they switched up on her with all sorts of issues,” Bawuah stated in a post shared on X on December 27, 2025.

According to her, Amaarae and her team exercised patience for an extended period, hoping the situation would be resolved, but it eventually became clear that the delays would not be addressed.

“We were extremely patient with the organisers until it became clear that the situation was untenable,” she said.

Bawuah added that the final decision for Amaarae to leave the venue was taken after careful consideration, stressing that it was not done lightly.

“As her mother and manager, I advised her to leave,” she concluded.
