Dancehall musician, Shatta Wale throws his weight behind tiktok influencers and says Asantewaa’s comments that without TikTok influencers musicians would have a tough time promoting their songs are nothing but the truth and it's the sad truth most people don't wanna hear.
According to Shatta, Asantewaa “said the bitter truth.”
TikTok star Asantewaa had disclosed in an earlier interview on United Showbiz show that most musicians who want their songs to trend must first approach TikTok stars and with that, they will have hit songs but if they don't have a hit song will be very difficult for them.
“I have always maintained that it doesn’t matter how long you have played your music game. When you make that song, it is not about your craft, you need to get us on board before it can blow. If not, you will be the only person singing the song… We make the song trend,” she said on Saturday, June 18.
Reacting to this in a series of Facebook posts, ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale revealed that it’s only poor musicians who could be talked down by these tiktok stars.
But he was quick to add that what Asantewaa said about music promotion was true.
Shatta Wale is best friends with TikTok Jackeline Mensah. The duo has been even rumored to be sleeping together. But Jackeline who was also on the United Showbiz show on UTV dispelled the rumors and said there is no truth in that and shatta Wale is his big bro.
She made it clear that Shatta Wale was her godfather and their relationship was father-daughter based not the love affair thing most Ghanaians are assuming.
On the other hand, Shatta Wale is about to release his much-anticipated album which he has dubbed “GIFT OF GOD” (GOG). The tracklist is already out and it features artists like Naira Marley.
