Many celebrities who were at the 20th edition of the Ghana Music Awards, had to leave the venue after a brawl broke out between the camps of Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy.

It all started when Shatta Wale and his team were seen going on stage after Stonebwoy was announced Reggae/Dancehall Artiste of the Year.

Pandemonium broke out when blows were exchanged between the two camps.

Stonebwoy then pulled a gun on stage.

Although he has apologised, many people have expressed disappointment in the conduct of the two artistes.

Some celebrities took to social media to share the ‘scary’ experience the fracas had caused.

For Actress Lydia Forson, seeing the gun was disgusting and traumatising at the same time.

She wrote on her Twitter page “You people weren’t there so you don’t get how traumatizing this experience was. Do you know how many tragedies have happened because of stampedes?!”

I”™ve never been so disgusted and traumatized in my life!!!

GUNS??!!!!!! #VGMA19 — Miss Forson (@lydiaforson) May 19, 2019

You people weren”™t there so you don”™t get how traumatizing this experience was.

Do you know how many tragedies have happened because of stampedes???!! All I can say is thank you to @sarkodie for helping me out. — Miss Forson (@lydiaforson) May 19, 2019

This isn”™t a time to pick sides-both artist are dope and loved.❤️

BUT both were complicit in what happened last night. We can love and still call them out when we believe they”™re wrong. We”™re equally to blame for encouraging and igniting this for so long.#UnitedWeStand — Miss Forson (@lydiaforson) May 19, 2019

Comedian and show host, Kwaku Sintim Misa, said the fight that broke out reflects how lawless the nation has become and that needs to be addressed.

Don”™t treat the #VGMA incident as an Isolated case. It”™s a reflection of the BREAKDOWN of LAW and ORDER IN the Coutry. It is an indication of THE rate of DEGENERATION into INDISCIPLINE. GH has become a Nation of LAWLESSNESS and DISORDER. Let”™s focus on that. Not the SYMPTOMS.

Actor John Dumelo had revealed he fled the venue upon seeing the gun. John wrote on Twitter “All this gidigidi is not necessary… To be honest, at the end of the day, what’s all the fight for?”

All this gidigidi is not necessary....Both artists have their “boys” on the street but the Ghana police service meet both artists and their boys and talk to them( all together). To be honest, at the end of the day, what”™s all the fight for?

For rapper Guru, it was shameful to see the two factions compete between themselves to this point.

We are competing among ourselves instead of our neighbors 😡shame to y”™all 🤦”â™‚️we don”™t even have a BET rep yet y”™all fighting over home match
