Ghanaian dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has fired shots at his public relations manager, Sammy Flex and his team following the brouhaha surrounding the ShattaFest UK.
According to Shatta Wale, he is the only one managing the entire Shatta Movement as he receives little to no support from those around him.
The dancehall king also took a swipe at Sammy Flex, saying that he sees little value in Sammy Flex’s podcast.
Shatta Wale claimed Sammy Flex’s podcast focuses too much on fellow musician Stonebwoy instead of promoting his brand.
Speaking during a TikTok Live session shared on X, Shatta Wale stated, “They are all fools. I am the only person managing the entire Shatta Movement, and no one gives me money. No one in my crew can say they bring in money. They are always there, and I am the one who goes out to look for money to support them and keep the team going.
When I send them to the house of a billionaire, they can’t even bring me money. Even the fans create opportunities for me, yet the people closest to me can’t do anything to help me,” he said.
Shatta Wale also took a swipe at his public relations manager, Sammy Flex, saying, “Recently, I was talking to Sammy Flex. I told him to stop talking about Stonebwoy on the podcast every single day. He still thinks we are in the radio era. He doesn’t understand the podcast he is doing”.
Meanwhile, the management of Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has broken their silence following the cancellation of ShattaFest UK.
In a statement released after the incident, the management described the events as “heartbreaking”.
Shatta Wale’s management disclosed that the decision to cancel the concert was taken because of the safety and well-being of patrons.
According to Shatta Wale’s management, nothing is more important than safety, adding that their hearts are with everyone affected by the tragic situation.
They further revealed that they were deeply saddened by reports of injuries and the alleged loss of lives but are awaiting official confirmation from the relevant authorities.
Parts of the statement read, “It is with a very heavy heart that we address the unfortunate events surrounding ShattaFest UK. Following reports of a serious incident outside the venue, the difficult decision was made to cancel the event. Nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of every single person who came to celebrate music, unity, and love”.
“Our hearts are with everyone who has been affected by this tragic situation. While we await official confirmation from the relevant authorities regarding all the facts, our thoughts and prayers remain with the individuals involved, their families, their friends, and everyone impacted by this heartbreaking incident,” it added.
“Shatta Wale has always stood for the people. Every performance is built on bringing joy, hope, and unforgettable memories to the fans who have supported him throughout the years. To know that what was meant to be a night of celebration has become a moment of pain is truly devastating,” the management noted.
“This is not the outcome anyone wished for. Today, our focus is not on a concert—it is on the people whose lives have been affected. We ask everyone to keep the victims, their loved ones, and all those impacted in your prayers,” the statement concluded.
The statement follows the United Kingdom (UK) police reportedly cancelling Ghanaian dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale’s Shattafest 2026 concert.
Reports suggest the cancellation follows safety and health concerns cited by police officials.
In a viral video, a UK police officer informed the large crowd waiting outside the venue that the event had been cancelled after it became overcrowded following an incident inside.
Also, videos circulating on social media show some individuals expressing disappointment over the decision, while others are demanding refunds, with other footage showing police officers dispersing the crowd from the venue.
