At the Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMAs), DJ Black stirred up a storm by playing a medley of Shatta Wale's hits during the jam session, leading to a divided reaction among fans of Shatta Movement.
Songs like "Hosanna," "Dancehall King," "Shatta City," and "Ayoo" resounded through the venue, triggering a wave of responses on social media, including from Shatta Wale himself.
Some viewers found it contradictory for Charterhouse to feature Shatta Wale's music after his withdrawal from the event, seeing it as a conflicting move.
However, others argued that Charterhouse inadvertently acknowledged Shatta Wale's significance by including his music, hinting at his indispensable role despite past disagreements.
Adding to the discussion, Captain Smart suggested Shatta Wale should take legal action against Charterhouse for playing his songs if he was barred from participating.
He emphasized the crowd's enthusiastic response to Shatta Wale's tracks compared to others, implying Charterhouse's reliance on his music for the event's success.
Captain Smart also criticized Charterhouse, highlighting foreign influences, particularly from Nigeria, in Ghana's entertainment industry. He pointed out the frequent awarding of Best African Artiste accolades to Nigerian artists as evidence of biased decision-making.
The 25th edition of the Telecel Ghana Music Awards, held at the Grand Arena, Accra International Conference Center on June 1, 2024, showcased captivating performances from Ghanaian musicians. Stonebwoy emerged as the 'Artiste of the Year,' adding to the event's memorable moments.
