Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Shatta Wale, a dancehall musician, has said that if he puts on a show, he can fill the 02 Arena, one of the largest event venues.
One of the largest event venues in the United Kingdom is the 02 Arena.
There have been numerous occasions where performers like Burna Boy and Wizkid have put on concerts and filled the arena.
Shatta Wale, however, is not thought to be able to pack the house the way his fellow musicians have, according to some. Shatta Wale refuted the assertions that he couldn’t fill 02 Arena in an interview with Dennis Tawaiah.
He said in an interview for Personality Profile on Joy M that no other Ghanaian performer could fill the 20,000-seat 02 Arena like he could.
“Which Ghanaian artist on record as we speak has even sold 5,000 capacity venue in the UK? he quizzed the artist.
But Shatta Wale asserted that he thinks he can fill the 20,000 seats at the 02 Arena.
However, the presenter chimed in, claiming that a person cannot accomplish that goal by performing a “one-man show” but rather must receive significant notoriety.
“It is teamwork…It is a company that is working so if Dennis, Alodia, and all those people cannot get themselves attached to those companies to work then these are the words that will come out of his mouth because me, Shatta Wale I believe if I get a Live Nation behind me I can sell O2 [hands down].”
Such comments, he said, drive the Ghanaian music business to its knees. Black Sherif, according to the Dancehall Artiste, may even fill the O2 Arena.
“If you like let’s mark it. Let Empire say they will put up a show for Black Sherif in O2 Arena right now, the boy is going to fill 20,000 or even 30,000.”
