They, therefore took so social media to express their disappointment at their icon.<\/p>\n<p>But Patapeezy has come out to rubbish this assertion. According to him, he never demanded for money as a precondition\u00a0supporting the campaign against the abuse of Tramadol.<\/p>\n<p>Instead, he explained that\u00a0he was approached by a lady who requested that he endorses a concept. Meanwhile, his manager had no idea of this, hence his refusal.<\/p>\n<p>He further stated that, the lady didn\u2019t make any effort to contact his manager. As a result, he made it clear to her that there will be no such endorsement. This, he added is because, doing so might infringe his managerial contract.<\/p>\n<p>Patapaa\u2019s manager, Gershon Mortey has confirmed also confirmed the artist\u2019s position.<\/p>\n<p>Gerson explained that Nana Aba Anamoah hasn\u2019t made any contact to ask his camp to engage in \u201cAbuse of Tramadol\u201d campaign. Hence he finds it difficult to fathom why she would put up such a post to defame his artiste.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h3><em>\u201cNana Aba has not called me or sent anyone to inform me on an abuse of tramadol campaign.
