Shatta Wale has explained why he did not perform at the just-ended Ghana Party in the Park, which was held in London.
The dancehall artiste and Kofi Kinaata were absent from the festival, which took place in London on Saturday, July 16, 2022.
Although the organisers issued a statement to apologise for the inconvenience, they did not give details until the C.E.O of Akwaaba Group, the company in charge of organising the event Dennis Tawiah, made it public.
He told blogger Attractive Mustapha that Shatta Wale made some monetary demands at the eleventh hour, which could not be met at the time.
“A demand was made at a very late stage, and we wanted to discuss it with his representatives. It was a monetary demand. It came in exactly a day to the show,” Mr. Tawiah stated in the interview.
Responding to what Dennis Tawiah’s said, Shatta Wale, told Hitz FM that the Akwaaba UK team breached their agreement.
“I wanted it to be a GOG in conjunction with Akwaaba UK. So the whole title was going to be ‘Akwaaba UK in conjunction with Shatta Movement GOG experience’ and we accepted that.”
“Secondly, I told him that he should try and get visas for my team, my team is big, but we came to a conclusion where I could just take four of them with me including me making five, and we agreed on that too. What I told him basically and vividly was that it’s time we Ghanaians start supporting our industry gatekeepers and coaches,” he noted.
According to Dennis Tawiah, Kofi Kinaata also did not perform because he could not fulfill some obligations that would enable him to be in London in time for the show.
