He was speaking in an exclusive interview on the 3FM Drive on Wednesday, April 12 when he made the submission.

Fuse ODG has been vocal about promoting Ghanaian culture and music and has been a strong advocate for the idea that Ghana’s unique culture and self-belief are key to its success in many areas, including attracting visitors to the country.

“Of course bro, we have to push ourselves. We have to build ourselves. We shouldn’t wait for other people to and now the reason why other people are coming to Ghana is because we believed in ourselves. Honestly, we need to do the same with the music,” he submitted

The Ghanaian Tourism Ambassador also noted that while Ghana is doing well in terms of attracting visitors, there was still work to be done when it came to harnessing the many opportunities to benefit everyone, especially the local community.

“People knew that this is the place to be at Christmas. We just need to make sure that we all benefit, and the locals benefit. Things don’t get harder for the locals,” he reiterated

Fuse ODG was named as part of 30 cultural ambassadors appointed by President Nana Akufo-Addo in 2017 to promote Ghanaian tourism and cocoa to the International community.

Agya Koo, the late Nana Kwame Ampadu, Okyeame Kwame, Van Vicker, D-Black and many others were also outdoored as Cocoa and Cultural ambassadors for Ghana

Shatta Wale’s Wolverhampton concert cancelled

Published

on

The much anticipated concert by Ghanaian Dancehall musician, Shatta Wale, at The Hangar in Wolverhampton on November 4th, 2023 has been cancelled.

According to a statement released by Shatta Movement Records, the promoters could not meet the luxurious demands and requirements specified by Shatta Wale’s management, hence the need for the show to be cancelled.

“We regret to inform the public that despite best efforts, the promoters have not been able to meet the luxurious demands and requirements specified by Shatta Wale’s management. These demands, while fitting for an artist of his stature, have proven to be logistically and financially challenging for the organization, making it impossible for us to proceed with the event as planned,” a portion of the statement read.

Prior to the cancellation of the show, early bird tickets for the concert had reportedly been sold out.

Read the full statement below:

We regret to announce the cancellation of the highly anticipated Shatta Wale concert scheduled to take place at The Hangar in Wolverhampton on November 4th, 2023. This decision has been made due to unforeseen circumstances concerning the artist’s demands that the promoters have been unable to meet.

Shatta Wale, the celebrated and accomplished musician with numerous chart-topping hits to his credit, has set the gold standard in the music industry. As a result, his rider and contractual requirements are equally grand, reflecting his status as a wealthy and successful artist and a business mogul.

Over the past two weeks, we have been diligently working to bring Shatta Wale’s electrifying performance to the people of Wolverhampton. The Hangar, known for hosting world-class events, was chosen as the venue for this remarkable night of music and entertainment. We believed that this concert would not only celebrate the incredible talent of Shatta Wale but also offer an unforgettable experience for his dedicated fans.

However, we regret to inform the public that despite best efforts, the promoters have not been able to meet the luxurious demands and requirements specified by Shatta Wale’s management. These demands, while fitting for an artist of his stature, have proven to be logistically and financially challenging for the organization, making it impossible for us to proceed with the event as planned.

Our primary concern is always to provide an outstanding experience for concertgoers, and we believe it would be unfair to compromise the quality of the show by attempting to cut corners or reduce our preparation value.

We would like to extend our sincere apologies to all the fans who have been eagerly looking forward to this event. We understand the disappointment this cancellation may cause, and we share in that disappointment.

Refunds will be automatically issued to all ticket holders for the Shatta Wale concert. Please allow up to some days for the refund process to be completed, and we appreciate your patience in this matter.

We remain committed to delivering top-tier entertainment events in the future, and we will continue to bring you memorable experiences that showcase incredible talent. We thank the public, financiers, and supporters for their understanding in this matter, and we look forward to providing you with outstanding live entertainment in the near future.
