Stonebwoy asserts that Shatta is merely kidding himself and is not as smart as he believes he is.
In reaction to a tweet concerning Memunatu Sulemana, the former Black Queens goalie, and her difficult situation, Stonebwoy made the following statement.
Former Black Queens goalkeeper Memunatu Sulemana, who represented Ghana at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, spoke candidly about her difficult situation after retiring from football in the report.
She claims that even though she had a distinguished career, she made very little money playing football, which is how she ended up in the situation she is in now.
Seyram, a Twitter user, responded to the situation by writing, “You see this is not music oo but what Shatta wale talk about everyday is relating to this chale we need to be smart enough ooo hmmm.”
Clearly not in agreement, Stonebwoy retorted, “Let me tell you, that smartness he is talking about is fanfooling…
Women’s football is not established if the government does not pay you.
Recently, Shatta Wale has demanded that the Ghanaian music industry be reoriented.
He contends that the Ghana music industry’s limited growth and lack of investment are largely the result of the status quo, and that a complete overhaul is therefore required to rebuild and reinvigorate the business.
He was speaking on an X space on the Ghana music industry that was co-hosted by Austine Woode and news anchor Serwaa Amihere.
“Are we ready as an industry to find people to be on spaces, radio stations, TV stations, properly with qualifications? People that we know that they’re not coming out of pain to come and talk pain.
“Are we ready to fish out those people? Otherwise, then like I’m saying, we’ll have to look for our young graduates from these schools and start teaching them industry courses,” he said.
He proposed that the government establish a training program for CEOs in the music and entertainment industries so they can represent the interests of industry participants and draw in the much-needed capital and creativity.
He thinks this will change the industry for the better.
“Those are the things that we need to do to even tell government that we need a school where we can train people to run our spaces for us. Because Austine, frankly speaking, you see where Serwaa is sitting, she’s qualified to be there, why? Because she has gone to school for it. You see where Kwame Sefa Kayi is sitting, he’s supposed to be there because he has done courses for what he’s doing”.
Shatta Wale’s ideas aim to create a more prosperous future for the Ghanaian music and entertainment landscape.
