Dancehall star Charles Nii-Armah Mensah Jnr, professionally known as Shatta Wale, has announced plans to release his next studio album, following the highly successful recent launch of his ‘The Reign’ album.
‘The Reign’ was launched to a packed Fantasy Dome of the Trade Fair Centre and was followed by a heavily patronized but controversial European tour and can be described as the most successful album of his career to date.
One of the most loyal and dedicated fan bases in Ghana without a question is the SM Movement, which supports self-acclaimed dancehall king Shatta Wale.
I call them a ‘rabid’ fanbase because they are more like blind loyalists than discerning followers, and every action they take simply proves it.
The mindset of most Ghanians make it inevitable that for many people, whenever there’s a problem in their lives they turn to a supernatural solution.
An entire society brainwashed into the power of the supernatural means for most people, the solution to their daily problems lies in either spending all their time in church or going to see a ‘mallam’ for some help the traditional way.
Shatta Wale, the SM movement and all friends of the empire have been making tremendous noise about the ‘Reign’ album and how it has been dominating charts.
The ‘Reign’, Shatta’s second studio album which he launched to much fanfare on October 13th at the Fantasy Dome of the Trade Fair Centre, has been top of the Ghana iTunes chart since it’s release and also memorably hit number 6 on the Billboard World albums chart.
Shatta Wale and his obsession with Sarkode continues as to try and show that he’s richer than the multiple award wining rapper.
You can see that the ‘Amount’ hitmaker is really hurt with being told that he wears aluminium chains because that’s all he has been talking about for the past two weeks.
Dancehall king Shatta Wale is turning up the heat on his rival, Stonebwoy Burninton, after the latter came out to complain about attending the ‘Reign’ album launch and then being snubbed by Wale.
Stonebwoy and Samini made a huge deal about going to the Trade Fair and then not being allowed on stage to perform and show support to Shatta Wale.
The party never stops if you’re Shatta Wale. After holding his album launch last weekend at the Fantasy Dome of the Trade Fair Centre, Wale ended the night by proposing to his long time baby mama Shatta Michy, making the day doubly sweet for him and his boo.
A few days later it was Wale’s birthday, a day he celebrated by receiving 1,001 birthday wishes from his super loyal SM fans.
Shatta Wale has angrily lashed out at his ‘haters’ who describe his album as trash in an emotional plea on Hitz FM.
According to Shatta Wale, his album is a quality one which is topping charts all over the world.
Ghanaian Musician, Kwaw Kese says Shatta Wale’s ‘Reign Album’ has fallen in water because no good song can be found on the album.
He stated that Shatta Wale made so much noise about the Reign Album as if it was the second coming of John Mahama.
Over the past few weeks the fans of the Shatta Movement empire and Sarkcess Music have been at loggerheads, as hitherto two of the most friendly artists in Ghana went to war.
Shatta Wale, in the search for hype for his album launch, decided to do the only thing he knows gets him attention which is to attack others without any merit.
DKB was in his full element on Saturday during Shatta Wale’s ‘Reign’ album launch. Following Shatta Wale around like a lapdog, he grunted agreement at everything the high Gbee Naabu said and even added his own harsh words.
At a point when Shatta Wale was hitting back at Sarkodie for his ‘alumi’ comment in ‘My Advice‘, DKB chipped in, insulting the mothers of those who doubted Shatta Wale. He actually screamed WMT (Wo Maame Tw3) at them in Ga.
The fallout from the ‘Reign’ album launch in the dancehall fraternity continues with Stonebwoy latest to join into the Samini and Shatta Wale fracas.
Samini revealed this morning that Stonebwoy and himself spent an hour trying to get on stage to suport Shatta Wale at his concert but they were prevented from doing so.
Shatta Wale must truly be in a good mood today from the successful launch of his album because he’s done something which he does not normally do, which is to apologize for a wrong thing he’s done.
Wale took to twitter to apologize to Samini, shocking everyone in Ghana.
Dancehall veteran Samini has started his week by dropping a bombshell on the head of Shatta Wale, who is currently on a high following the successful launch of his new album ‘The Reign’.
Samini slammed Shatta Wale as a hypocrite on twitter this Monday morning, based on how he claims he was treated at the event grounds for the album launch.
Shatta Wale broke into tears like a little b**** onstage during the album launch of his ‘Reign’ album, complaining that he does not understand why every artist in the Ghanaian music industry is always fighting him.
Wale, releasing some pent up emotional energy, cried that he has suffered a lot and thus does not understand why everyone seems determined to fight him in the industry.
