Ghanaian dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has declared that ShattaFest will become an annual event.
Shatta Wale made this announcement during a visit to the head office of Mobile Money Limited (MoMo) in Accra.
He expressed his gratitude to the company for partnering and supporting his birthday concert.
Speaking at the meeting, Shatta Wale stated, “ShattaFest is a brand that we’ve built, and I believe with a few collaborations like MTN from MoMo and other affiliations, we’re going to have it every year”.
“We’re even thinking about taking it to other regions and even outside Ghana as well. This is a great initiative, and people should expect more.”
Shatta Wale also commended Ghanaians and his fans, “Thank you to MTN from MoMo, my Shatta Movement fans, and the whole of Ghana. I believe it wasn’t only my fans that came, but most Ghanaians also really supported for this thing to happen”.
He further added, “I think it’s about discipline, hard work, and how we push the agenda of what we do. For me to have a brand like this come on board shows that the corporate world is ready to support people like us.”
“So when this MoMo stuff came up, I was like, I have this idea that I want to do, but I didn’t know which dates to. But when it got to my birthday season, I was like, let me just try, and lo and behold, your team said yes.
“God bless everyone here who accepted it, and it really became a success for me. I’m still shocked up to now.“
