Entertainment pundit Vida Adutwumwaa has issued a challenge to Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale, urging him to undertake a two-hour live performance.
She criticises Shatta Wale’s artistic approach, characterizing it as primarily miming to his songs.
In a discussion on UTV Showbiz Night, she contends that Shatta Wale’s shallow mindset and attitude are a hindrance to his artistic progress and growth.
Comparing Shatta Wale’s performances to those of Stonebwoy, she suggests that Stonebwoy, whom Shatta Wale belittles, has consistently improved his craft and live performances over the years, unlike Shatta Wale, who relies on miming and backing songs.
“Stonebwoy’s contribution to the recent Ghana and Nigeria comparison explained that he isn’t moved by the pressure but he is self-aware of what has to be done to emulate such success of the Nigerian counterpart citing the pressure as a motivation to accelerate growth.
“Stonebwoy is no different from Davido and Co, he is capable of gracing bigger stages like the Co However the lack of proper structure and support hinders the penetration into the chalking of such highlights. He acknowledges the challenges and sees it as a self-retrospection to build his craft paving the way to the bigger limelight.
“But Shatta Wale as usual rides on attention to shade hard-working artists who are doing their best to put the country on the map, I challenge him to put up a two-hour live performance, What Shatta Wale does is miming, track one, track two. It is so petty of him to claim Stonebwoy is coping Burna Boy, You can go a check on both their socials, what is the similarity between the two artists?” she further quizzed.
