WE SHOULD STOP ARGUING WITH NIGERIANS AND BEG FOR HELP, GHANA MUSIC INDUSTRY IS ‘A DISGRACE’ – Shata Wale

Shatta Wale said these on Twitter in his typical comical, controversial and pointed way, Wednesday, January 18, 2023.

“[It’s] better we stop arguing with Nigerian fans, promoters, etc., and ask for help,” he said.

“[I even] need [a] record label,” the musician who identifies as Ghana’s richest confessed. “Ghana music [industry] is a disgrace. Mek [don’t let] nobody lie [to] you…”

He bigged up “Naija [Nigeria],” and charged that Ghanaians are only talkers “with no action. Yes, I have said it…”

In the afternoon, the Johnny Just Come (JJC) hitmaker tweeted a follow-up saying he is only speaking the uncomfortable truths this year. He stressed his need for a record label’s assistance and decried pride.

“This year 2023 hard truth nkwaaaa [only],” he said with rolling on the floor laughing emojis. “You need help. I need help. Stop that ego life. Enogo [it won’t] help you and me…”

Since his 2004 ‘Bandana’ hit, Bandana who rebranded to Shatta Wale in 2013 with the release of ‘Dancehall King’, has predominantly been an independent Ghanaian artiste.
