Anti-corruption campaigner and political activist, A-Plus has shared a profound thought on the infamous beef between Ghana’s Shatta Wale and his Nigerian counterpart Burna Boy.
A Plus shared a video of US-based Ghanaian journalist Kelvin Taylor in which the latter slammed the Nigerian singer for threatening Shatta Wale in the heat of their online melee a premise for his own two cents on the subject matter.
Read what A Plus said below;
“Hey, Masa, the leg-crossing no who are you referring to? Check your WhatsApp I’ve sent you E-Duabɔ!! But on a more serious note, the reason why I’ve not commented on this issue is that it is very difficult to tell which one is a publicity stunt (It’s part of the game) and which one is a real threat in such situations.
Before any comment is made, there is a need for some clarification. I tried to speak with Shatta wale(shatta movement) on phone for the aforesaid but he has not gotten back to me yet. What if both of them decided to stage it for whatever reason?
“What if Burna Boy called Shatta to say “My people are not giving the Ghanaian music industry the needed support. Let’s stage this or that.” For all you know, Burna Boy and Shatta are planning a collaboration to break into the Nigerian music industry. It happens all the time!!
“Has Shatta himself reported to the police that a Nigerian has threatened to kill him and therefore the police must arrest him on arrival in Ghana or prevent him from entering our country?
If the answer is no, then he doesn’t feel threatened. So why must I cry more than the bereaved? One must be tactful in such situations.
If you just dive into the fight head first, wo bɛ yɛ third person. Before you say jack, Shatta and the person who threatened to kill him are at the beach having fun.
It has happened many times. You remember the story of the boy who cried wolf right? Finally, to say Nigerian music is not big in francophone Africa is a pure fallacy!!”
