Mark Okraku Mantey blasts Shatta Wale promoting America at VGMAs concert

Ghanaian music guru and Hitz FM programmes manager, Mark Okraku Mantey, has lambasted Shatta Wale, who once said Ghana is a village, for promoting America at a VGMAs warm-up concert.

According to Mark, the VGMA Experience concert, which was held last Saturday, should have been a platform to sell Ghana but Shatta Wale has however managed to promote America when he showed off a U.S paraphernalia singlet he was wearing. 

How can a big act like Shatta Wale wear a shirt filled with the US flag on a big stage like the VGMAS? I was so angry when he took off his yellow jacket and what was left on him was that shirt filled with US colours and the US Flag” he said on Hitz FM.

Citing Jamaica as an example, Mark said that Jamaican stars are known for always wearing clothes that represent their nation at such shows. He also added that, with this year being tagged as the year of return, it would have been the best for a top act like Shatta to be draped in Ghanaian colours.

Instead of selling Ghana wearing something more Ghanaian, he rather wore a shirt containing the US Flag. In Jamaica, almost all their top acts make sure they wore something in their Jamaican colours. Especially, this year, we have the Year of Return, and a big act like him rather decided to wear something US, how” Mark quizzed.
