Table of Men, a Christian advocacy group that projects the works for gospel musicians, has explained that there are conditions to their services.

According to the President, Kwasi Ernest, gospel musicians who seek help from them, would first have to inform them.

His comment comes on the back of complaints that unlike the past few years when they threw their weight behind certain gospel artistes like Diana Hamilton and Piesie Esther in the Telecel Ghana Music Awards ultimate slot - Artiste of the Year, the group has gone silent with very recent ones. 

Some critics have asserted that Table of Men did not stick their necks out for Nacee when he earned an Artiste of the Year nomination in the 2024 Telecel Ghana Music Awards. Similarly, some have raised questions about the group’s silence about Team Eternity Ghana and Joe Mettle’s nominations in the 2025 Artiste of the Year categories. 

Meanwhile, Kwasi Ernest in an interview with Andy Dosty on Hitz FM indicated that they do not just jump on any project or campaign spearheaded by a gospel artiste.

“The Table of Men [organisation] cannot just jump onto the streets, radio stations and platform and begin campaigning for someone who has received Artiste of the Year nomination simply because the person is a gospel artiste,” he said. 

He added that: “If the nominee in question and their management realise that there are leaders, people who are influential in the Table of Men, and decide to meet us to draw a plan to actually campaign and support our activation, why not? We are a family. We will do it. But the Table of Men will not go and climb a tree, when the person who has received the nomination is sleeping comfortably in his 16 inches bed. It doesn’t work like that. We cannot do that.”

In the meantime, he has also dispelled rumours that the group has collapsed. He rather noted that it has gone on a break and will be bouncing back stronger.
