Ghanaian music sensation, Shatta Wale, recently vented his frustration on social media after his scheduled concert at The Hangar in Wolverhampton on November 4th, 2023, was abruptly canceled. The cancellation was attributed to alleged protocol breaches by the show’s promoters, Shatta Movement Records.
In response to Shatta Wale’s claims, Bizzle Entertainment, the organizers of the event, issued a press statement defending their actions. They asserted that they had diligently fulfilled all contractual obligations, including an initial 50% down payment, demonstrating their commitment to the success of the concert.
However, the situation took a fiery turn as Shatta Wale took to Facebook to express his discontent. He accused the Ghanaian promoters abroad of failing to meet his financial expectations, suggesting that the 20,000 pounds they had offered was inadequate. He also claimed that half of the payment had been sent to another party, Alordia, without his knowledge or consent.
In his social media outburst, Shatta Wale went on to highlight the considerable expenses associated with his personal life, particularly the costs of his girl’s cosmetology course, personal driver, and security detail. He emphasized that these expenses far exceeded the amount offered for the concert.
Shatta Wale concluded his statement by asserting that he is not just an ordinary artist but a “business mogul” who demands respect and professionalism from promoters. His frustration with the situation was evident as he called out the promoters for not recognizing his stature in the industry.
This incident has sparked a debate within the music industry, shedding light on the complexities of artist-promoter relationships and the financial expectations that artists like Shatta Wale have when performing abroad.
