Ghanaian singer Shatta Wale has expressed discontent with his colleagues in the music industry who are advocating for a reduction of Nigerian music on Ghanaian airwaves.
In his viral statement, he criticised the idea of limiting the exposure of Nigerian artists like Wizkid, Davido, and Burna Boy in Ghana.
Shatta Wale suggested that these Nigerian artists have shown love for Ghana, and he questioned why some in the industry would want to play their music less frequently.
The Dancehall artist used humorous exaggeration to highlight that it would take a very long time before Ghanaian artists receive the same recognition and popularity in Nigeria as Nigerian artists do in Ghana.
"Ego take you people roughly the year 5050," he wrote. He emphasised that Ghanaians shouldn't be forced to listen to a particular artist.
"Your spirit of wanna be is very bad ..Is it by force for Ghanaians to listen to your fav. They like Wizkid."
The way Wizkid and davido and Burna boy love Ghana nu ,
