Shatta, according to Stonebwoy, is not as brilliant as he thinks he is and is merely kidding himself.
Stonebwoy made the comments in response to a tweet concerning former Black Queens goalie Memunatu Sulemana’s difficult circumstances.
Former Black Queens goalkeeper Memunatu Sulemana, who represented Ghana at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, talked out about her difficult situation following her retirement from sports in the article.
Despite her successful career, she claims she made relatively little money while playing football, which has contributed to her current condition.
Seyram, a Twitter user, remarked on the issue, stating
, “You see this is not music oo but what Shatta wale talk about everyday is relating to this chale we need to be smart enough ooo hmmm.”
Stonebwoy who was obviously not in agreement, responded, “Let me tell you, that smartness he is talking about is fanfooling…
If government doesn’t pay you, neither is the women football established.”
Shatta Wale has lately called for a reorientation of the Ghanaian music industry.
According to him, the existing quo is primarily responsible for the Ghana music industry’s limited development and lack of investment, and hence a complete overhaul is required to reform and reinvigorate the business.
He was speaking about the Ghana Music Industry on an X space presented by news presenter Serwaa Amihere and co-hosted by Austine Woode.
“Are we ready as an industry to find people to be on spaces, radio stations, TV stations, properly with qualifications? People that we know that they’re not coming out of pain to come and talk pain.
“Are we ready to fish out those people? Otherwise, then like I’m saying, we’ll have to look for our young graduates from these schools and start teaching them industry courses,” he said.
He proposed that the government establish an educational institution aimed at developing music and other entertainment executives to advocate for industry participants and attract much-needed investment and innovation.
This, he believes, will help to turn the sector around.
“Those are the things that we need to do to even tell government that we need a school where we can train people to run our spaces for us. Because Austine, frankly speaking, you see where Serwaa is sitting, she’s qualified to be there, why? Because she has gone to school for it. You see where Kwame Sefa Kayi is sitting, he’s supposed to be there because he has done courses for what he’s doing”.
Shatta Wale’s ideas aim to create a more prosperous future for the Ghanaian music and entertainment landscape.
