Renowned Ghanaian gospel singer Sonnie Badu has lauded dancehall artist Shatta Wale following the successful staging of ShattaFest 2025.
After attracting a large crowd to his event at the Black Star Square in Accra, the preacher drew a comparison.
On October 20, 2025, he posted on Instagram, likening the massive turnout to Ghana’s independence moment, while noting that the former exceeded the latter in numbers.
He wrote;
“It’s never happened in the history of Ghana, not even on the day of our independence with Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. This is huge. @shattawalenima needs to be studied. We all go throw money for ground, feed the streets and they got your back. Paaa paaa paaa! I think Ghana is evolving and soon we will take the centre stage again,”
The highly anticipated show boasted an impressive array of performers, including Sarkodie, Samini, Wendy Shay, Medikal, Kelvynboy, Amerado, Darkovibes, DopeNation, and several others.
Taking place on October 18, the concert kicked off at 4pm and wrapped up at 7am, marking Shatta Wale’s birthday and solidifying his position as a leading figure in Ghanaian entertainment.
