The dancehall musician announced on X (formerly Twitter) that he would be host Shatta Wale Live in London in collaboration with Akwaaba UK.
Earlier, Shatta Wale had asked Akwaaba UK boss Dennis Tawiah to let him perform at the Independence Bash in the capital on March 6, 2025.
He stated that he had worked on songs with R2Bees and King Paluta and wanted to join them on stage. However, instead of a guest performance, he has secured a full concert of his own.
This comes amid tensions between Akwaaba UK and his rival, Stonebwoy. Stonebwoy’s team had earlier accused the event organisers of trying to sabotage his Up and Runnin6 album tour by scheduling the Independence Bash on the same day as his concert.
Stonebwoy is set to perform at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire on March 8, with Fameye and AratheJay as supporting acts. His concert is being backed by Live Nation UK.
Shatta Wale's announcement of his concert in collaboration with Akwaaba UK stirred reactions from his fans and Stonebwoy's fans.
Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh speaks on Stonbewoy's London show drama
Speaking to YEN.com.gh, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh shared his thoughts on two sets of artistes performing at two different shows in the same city at the same time. He highlighted the good and bad sides of it. He said:
"I don't think it would unless both are looking at the same market with limited numbers. Shows happen everywhere, and the best-marketed show usually takes the day. So I won't say it is a hindrance, but when the audience is limited by number, then Yes, it would be a hindrance."
