The smartness he talks about is fan-fooling – Stonebwoy jabs Shatta Wale.
Ghanaian artist Shatta Wale is getting some shade from his industry colleague Stonebwoy. According to Stonebwoy, Shatta is not as clever as he thinks he is but only fan-fooling himself.
In reaction to a tweet regarding the difficult conditions facing former Black Queens goalie Memunatu Sulemana, Stonebwoy made the statement.
Memunatu Sulemana, a former goalkeeper for the Black Queens who represented Ghana at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, discussed her difficult situation after retiring from sports in the report.
She claims that despite having a distinguished career, she made relatively little money playing football, which contributed to her current predicament.
A Twitter user named Seyram commented on the situation, saying, “You see this is not music oo but what Shatta wale talk about everyday is relating to this chale we need to be smart enough ooo hmmm.”
Stonebwoy who was obviously not in agreement, responded, “Let me tell you, that smartness he is talking about is fanfooling…
If government doesn’t pay you, neither is the women football established.”
Recall, Shatta Wale has demanded that the Ghanaian music industry be reoriented.
He contends that the Ghana music industry’s limited growth and lack of investment are largely the result of the status quo and that a complete overhaul is therefore required to rebuild and reinvigorate the business.
He was speaking on an X space on the Ghana music industry that was co-hosted by Austine Woode and news anchor Serwaa Amihere.
“Are we ready as an industry to find people to be on spaces, radio stations, TV stations, properly with qualifications? People that we know that they’re not coming out of pain to come and talk pain.
“Are we ready to fish out those people? Otherwise, then like I’m saying, we’ll have to look for our young graduates from these schools and start teaching them industry courses,”he said.
He suggested that the government establish a training program for CEOs in the music and entertainment industries so they can represent the interests of industry participants and draw in the much-needed capital and creativity.
He thinks this will change the industry for the better.
“Those are the things that we need to do to even tell government that we need a school where we can train people to run our spaces for us. Because Austine, frankly speaking, you see where Serwaa is sitting, she’s qualified to be there, why? Because she has gone to school for it. You see where Kwame Sefa Kayi is sitting, he’s supposed to be there because he has done courses for what he’s doing”.
The goals of Shatta Wale’s plans are to improve the music and entertainment industry in Ghana.
