The aging grudge between Ghana's top dancehall
artistes, Bandana aka Shatta Wale and Samini
was again felt at the Loud In GH concert
organized by Yfm at the Accra Sports Stadium.
The Concert which headlined top dancehall
artistes in the country had Samini and Shatta
Wale on the bill, but to the surprise of many,
Shatta Wale refused to stop performing after he
had performed close to 30 songs knowing
Samini was next to perform.
Several times he was signaled to end his
performance but he chose to caution the
organizers to allow him do his job which is to
entertain his fans while the crowd kept on
chanting his name. He was allowed to perform
and he never stopped.
His attitude compelled the organizers to pull the
plug on the PA system which Shatta Wale
regardless kept on performing to the chant of
his fans for some minutes before he gave up the
stage.
The audience started leaving after Shatta Wale
left the stage at around 0345 GMT thinking the
show was over. As soon as Samini was
introduced, many of the people who had left
started returning to the stadium wondering what
had just happened.
About half the audience had left and Samini
ignited a huge cheer from those present when
he insisted on performing to those who are
ready to be entertained even if it would last till
sunrise.
He delivered a great performance to the
satisfaction of his fans despite the unnecessary
delay he had to encounter.
The concert which started three hours late had
performances from eight underground dancehall
artistes with Kaakie, Natural Face, Jupiter,
Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale and Samini entertaining
the crowd that had filled a quarter of the
stadium stands.
