Controversial Ghanaian musician Shatta Wale has reacted to a podcast discussion comparing his ability to attract crowds to his shows against Stonebwoy and Sarkodie.
The dancehall artiste, who came across the video on social media, expressed his displeasure on X (formerly Twitter), stating that the comparison was unnecessary.
The podcast hosts focused on how the three musicians perform in terms of crowd-pulling power. The main debate was between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy, with the hosts arguing that if both artistes held concerts on the same day, Stonebwoy would likely attract a bigger audience. They also seemed to favour Stonebwoy and Sarkodie in their analysis.
Shatta Wale, in his response, dismissed the comparison and stated that he was wealthier than the artistes being favoured. His comments sparked reactions on social media, with fans of all three artistes defending their favourites.
All three artistes have had immense crowd-pulling concerts in recent times. For instance, Shatta Wale’s record-breaking Freedom Wave Concert which was held on December 25, 2022. The event, which took place at the Accra Sports Stadium, filled the venue to capacity, a feat that even some international artistes have struggled to achieve.
Stonebwoy also had a successful 2024 BHIM Festival, held at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel on December 22. The event featured performances from Ghanaian and international artistes, including Efya, Larruso, Spice, Epixode, Davido, Kwaw Kese, Reggie Rockstone, and Rocky Dawuni.
Sarkodie’s Rapperholic concert is also a show which attracts massive crowds annually. His 2024 edition, held on December 25 at the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Centre, saw thousands of fans fill the venue, with several A-list artistes joining him on stage.
