With hashtags such as #AIP, #SM, and #ShattaAndFansAlbum, the Accra Invasion Project is expected to create opportunities for emerging talents, allowing them to showcase their potential on a larger platform. Shatta Wale’s initiative promises to bring new energy to the Ghanaian music scene as fans eagerly await the discovery of the next big stars.

A few weeks ago, Ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale also pledged to support a young artist with special needs after the artist requested a meeting.

In a recent interview with Berla Mundi, Samuel Akonnor, an artist with cervical dystonia, expressed his admiration for Shatta Wale and wished to meet the dancehall artiste, whom he regards as his favourite musician worldwide.

The young artist also performed a freestyle of Shatta Wale's 2017 hit single, Ayoo, and showcased some of his artwork. Berla Mundi appealed to Shatta Wale to grant the young fan's wish to meet him, which garnered a response from the SM Boss.
