Shatta Wale expresses concerns about Ghanaian music industry’s decline compared to Nigeria

Renowned Ghanaian dancehall artist, Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., widely known as Shatta Wale, has voiced his distress over the diminishing state of Ghana’s music scene. In a candid reflection, he emphasized the upward trajectory of Nigerian music contrasted with the downward trend in Ghana.

Acknowledging the substantial growth gap between the two nations’ music industries in recent times, the self-proclaimed ‘King of African Dancehall’ lamented the diminishing competitiveness of Ghanaian musicians when pitted against their Nigerian counterparts. Through his social media platform, Shatta Wale conveyed his concern by stating, “Naija music soaring high, you can’t fight them,” juxtaposed with the somber observation, “Ghana music descending, falling down.”
