Following Nigerian artist Asake’s great debut at the 02 Arena last night, Ghanaian dancehall singer Shatta Wale has made a mockery of Ghanaian music.
He said that Ghanaian artists’ accomplishments had been eclipsed by those of musicians from Nigeria.
He likened the Nigerian music business, which he called a “Hennessy bottle,” to that of Ghana, comparing it to a “feeding bottle” instead.
This was said by Shatta Wale in his congratulations to Asake, a young Nigerian musician who recently sold out the 20,000-seat O2 Arena in London, United Kingdom.
On his Twitter account, he posted
“Nigerians are making Ghana music look like feeding bottle compared to Hennessy bottle. Congrats to Asake meeenn!!!
“You guys deh run tooo fast …F*ck
“PS: Some Ghana man say how do they do it?
“Me: when you stop judging people here like you are angels,I think we can get the formula.
“Naija is winning BIG TIME !!! My people.”
On Sunday night, Ahmed Oloade, also known as Asake, made history by being the first Nigerian newcomer to sell out the 20,000-seat O2 Arena in London, United Kingdom.
One of the concert’s main attractions was Asake’s entrance, which took place during his most recent performance at the 02 and saw the singer coming on stage from a helicopter in the midst of the audience.
A medley of songs from his first album, “Mr. Money With The Vibe,” and his second album, “Work Of Art,” were performed by him.
He also invited Fireboy DML, Lil Kesh, and a number of other artists from the YBNL record label.
