Reigning Dancehall King “Inna de whole” Ghana, Shatta Wale and his Shatta Movement crew, are very furious after reports that African Dancehall King Samini outshined him on stage at the just ended “Guinness Big Eruption Concert” which took place at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday, November 23 2013.
Speaking in an exclusive interview on Neat 100.9
FM’s sensational talk show “Me Man Enti”, hosted by Adakabre Frimpong Manso,
the “Enter the net” hit maker vented his anger on the leading entertainment
newspaper in Ghana, “Graphic Showbiz”, warning them not to publish anything
about him again, and even went ahead to threaten court action, if the
well-respected newspaper decides to go against his warning.
“Like what Graphic Showbiz has written, I can say in
my life that I don’t want any publication from Graphic Showbiz again in my
life, because when I find it I can sue them. I don’t need them to hype me; I
don’t need them to say anything about me. They are a nonentity”, he fumed.
Shatta Wale, formerly known as Bandana’s reaction
came after two different reports on the event (One from Graphic Showbiz and one
from Daily Graphic) were published on Monday November 25, stating categorically
that “Rising music sensation, Shatta Wale, left many of his fans livid after he
failed to live up to the challenge of the durable Samini at the Guinness
Eruption Concert Saturday night, at the Accra Sports Stadium” (Quoted from a
Daily Graphic report by Isaac Yeboah).
Another report was published on the front page of
Monday’s edition of Graphic Showbiz filed by Francis Doku, with the headline
“Samini Floors Shatta Wale”.
Shatta Wale was also not enthused by the fact that
he is always being compared to Samini, saying that was a factor in his usage of
unprintable words against his compatriot. He blamed the media for creating the
unnecessary rivalry between him and Samini.
“I will only do that when people stop comparing me
and Samini in this industry because what I am doing is different from what he
is doing. So that is why people have to talk to him and his people and others
in the media...they should cease comparing the two of us”, he stated when a
panel member on the show, told him to curb the use of swear words.
He emphasised that so long as he is being compared
to Samini, he will always come hard on him (Samini) to make his fans happy.
“When they rate me and him like that, I will always
make sure that his fans feel bad...my fans become unhappy anytime they hear him
or his fans saying things about me which I can’t stand".
Asked if he thinks he was able to use the platform
offered him last Saturday to enhance his career, Shatta replied; “Well I used
it the best way I could use it”, adding that an official of Guinness, sponsors
of the show, spoke to his management and that of Samini not to perform any of
their “Diss” songs on stage, so he tried as much as he could to put up a “clean
show”.
"The man of the moment" said he only made
certain statements on stage because he needed to clear some things that had
been said about him.
“It was just about the comparison and other things
people were saying about me, I had to clear it on stage”.
Reacting to reports that his family is not too happy
about some of his utterances and his attitude in general, Shatta Wale quizzed;
“Do you know my father was at the show? My father actually provided me security
and a convoy.
My father gave me his brand new Jaguar to drive to
the Guinness show”.
Shatta also disclosed that his father commended him
after his performance and gave him an amount of $3,000 to go shopping for a
good job done.
He denied allegations that he was sacked from home
because he is a troublesome youngman, and stating that his family is aware that
he is an outspoken individual and they are content with it.
Before last Saturday’s concert, most people thought
the unhealthy rivalry between Shatta Wale and Samini was going to come to an
end, but it appears the game has only just began as Peacefmonline.com is
reliably informed that a major Accra based Radio Station is planning another
Samini and Shatta Wale showdown event, this Christmas.
