Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy Clash Over Stadium Concert Dates.

 In the dynamic music scene of Ghana, the ongoing rivalry between two prominent artists, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy, remains unabated. 

This time, the conflict doesn't revolve around their music supremacy but rather centers on conflicting event schedules at the Accra Sports Stadium. Shatta Wale took to Facebook Live on Tuesday, September 19, 2023, to express his disappointment with Stonebwoy for scheduling his concert on December 22, 2023, a date that directly competes with Shatta Wale's "Freedom Wave Festival" at the same venue.

Adding to the tension, Shatta Wale alleged that external influences had swayed the stadium authorities to grant Stonebwoy the date for his "Bhim Concert" this year, raising concerns about fairness and transparency.

Previously, Shatta Wale and Medikal had enthusiastically announced the "Freedom Wave Festival," a five-day extravaganza scheduled to take place from December 20th to 25th, all at the Accra Sports Stadium. However, Stonebwoy later revealed his annual year-end concert, which was locked in for December 22nd at the very same venue.

In response to Shatta Wale's claims of unfair treatment, Professor Peter Twumasi, the Director General of the National Sports Authority, shed light on the situation. He disclosed, "You informed my team that in order to organize a show at the stadium, one needs three days for setup. So if your event is on the 25th, you require three days prior to set up, namely the 22nd, 23rd, and 24th. That's what you conveyed to my team."

"Why choose the same date as us?" Shatta Wale questioned. "Stonebwoy could have selected any other day in December, perhaps December 10th or another available date. Why disrupt our plans? The Professor assured us that they would reconsider the situation," he emphasized.

As the clash of concert dates continues, it appears that the rivalry between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy remains as intense as ever, with the Accra Sports Stadium caught in the middle of this musical showdown.
