"You can't fight foreign music; their 10% music will overshadow the whole of Ghana." – Shatta Wale

Ghanaian dancehall musician Shatta Wale has made waves with his recent remarks. In a bold statement, Shatta Wale proclaimed, "You can't fight foreign music; their 10% music will overshadow the whole of Ghana."


Shatta Wale's comments came in light of the #playGhana campaign, an initiative spearheaded by Ministries of Information and supported by several Ghanaian music luminaries including Samini, Reggie Rockstone, and Black Sheriff. However, Shatta Wale expressed skepticism about the campaign, reviewing it as a mere joke. He emphasized that the campaign is unlikely to succeed due to the pervasive presence of foreign music, which already claims a significant portion of the country's musical landscape.

The contentious nature of this debate has sparked a broader conversation across the music industry, raising questions about the balance between promoting local talent and embracing global influences. Shatta Wale's stance has added fuel to an already heated dialogue, prompting varied reactions from music enthusiasts and industry insiders alike.

The intersection of cultural identity, artistic expression, and market dynamics remains a topic of immense interest and import in Ghana's vibrant music ecosystem. Shatta Wale's outspoken viewpoint has brought renewed attention to these crucial dynamics, invigorating a crucial exchange of ideas about the future of Ghana's musical identity.
