Shatta Wale’s explosive performance at the Freedom Street concert in Kingston, Jamaica, has created a stir in the music world.
Hosted by the iconic Jamaican artist Vybz Kartel, the event marked a milestone in Kartel’s career, marking his return to the music scene after a decade of incarceration.
However, it was Shatta Wale, the self-proclaimed Dancehall King from Ghana, who truly stole the spotlight as the only Ghanaian artist on stage.
The performance was more than just a display of musical talent—it was seen as a significant statement in Shatta Wale’s career. His manager, Sammy Flex, spoke passionately about the importance of this moment, stressing that it wasn’t merely about the performance itself, but about what it represented for Shatta Wale’s growing international reach.
“This was more than just a performance; it was a statement,” Flex remarked during an interview, emphasizing that Shatta Wale’s presence at such a prestigious event underscored his expanding global influence.
Despite mixed reactions from both fans and critics, Flex remained unshaken by any negativity, highlighting the positive reception the artist received in Jamaica. According to Flex, the concert’s success is evident in the dramatic spike in Shatta Wale’s engagement on digital platforms, particularly on YouTube, where streams for his track ‘On God’ have soared.
Flex couldn’t help but take a jab at those claiming international success without tangible growth. “Some people claim they’re headlining international shows, but where’s the growth? Where’s the engagement?” he questioned, implying that the numbers are the true testament to Shatta Wale’s impact.
For Sammy Flex, this moment is more than about the music; it’s about proving the doubters wrong. “The detractors will always talk, but the proof is in the impact Shatta Wale is making. His journey is one for the history books,” he concluded, standing firm in his belief that Shatta Wale’s place in the global music landscape is solidifying.
