Shatta Wale’s manager has disclosed that there are currently no plans for the dancehall artist to become involved with the Ghana Music Awards. Speaking on TV3’s New Day, Sammy Flex explained that while Shatta Wale hasn’t completely ruled out a return to the awards, there hasn’t been any initiative taken to pursue membership in the scheme.
Flex emphasized that while joining the VGMA isn’t entirely off the table for Shatta Wale, it’s not a priority for them at present. He stated, “Joining VGMA is not part of our current objectives.” This suggests that the artist’s focus lies elsewhere, at least for now.
This decision follows the notorious altercation between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy during the 2019 edition, which led to both artists being indefinitely banned. While Stonebwoy has participated in the VGMA since the ban was lifted in 2021, Shatta Wale has remained steadfast in his boycott of the event.
