I cannot even say this is the pot calling the kettle black because we all know there is only one pot and kettle here and it is not Shatta Wale.
Who is Eze?— exactly my thought dear reader!. It is no shame if you do not know who he is because I also do not know him and a lot of people as well.
Well it seems this Eze is somewhat bashful and disappointed for featuring our dearest Shatta Wale on one of his vague songs.
Shatta Wale is not a personal fav but to say the dude has got no talent in him would be an extreme disservice to the man..
In an interview with Rachel Engmann, mister Eze took a swipe at the dancehall king and as a matter of factly all Ghanaian musicians .
Read what he said:
“We are looking at international standard, we aren’t looking at BACKYARD standard which hasn’t crossed even AFLAO. I feel disappointed when I tell people in Nigerian that I featured Shatta Wale, they ask WHO IS SHATTA WALE? WHO IS SHATTA WALE.”
Knowing Shatta, the host asked if he is no afraid of a possible beef with his statements, he added:
“Beef then have fish not only beef, are you trying to say that the way Shatta Wale goes about beefing people.”
The hostess then referred him to the numerous awards Shatta Wale has won both locally and globally but Eze retorted “he (Shatta Wale) is the best in his HOUSE… Shatta is the best in his house.”
“I want Ghanaian musicians to wake up, they are all sleeping and it is more like Sarkodie doing all the hits but still he isn’t known he is just within here… he hasn’t crossed Aflao yet so they have to wake up. Imagine Sarkodie featuring Kojo Antwi, is it not going to make sense to you…. All these young young boys jumping around
I came to Ghana to make Hiplife and that was the music of Ghana. That is the combination of Highlife and Hiphop but is lost…we call it Hiplife. Reggie was actually the champion then but they lost trace of this music because it got to a point when everybody even the big boys, Kojo Antwi, Daddy Lumba and the others went their own.”
I do my international music, I don’t do Ghanaian music, I do an African thing and everyone knows that. Ghanaian musicians should go back to Hiplife. When I came to Ghana I thought I have found Gold (Hiplife).”
Shatta Wale fans will not be happy about this at all .
