Baba Sadiq Abdulai Abu, the founder of 3Music Networks and the National Democratic Congress’ parliamentary candidate for the Okaikoi Central constituency, has revealed that Stonebwoy, a reggae dancehall artist, did not attend the SallahFest event in April due to Shatta Wale.
Speaking during an interview on Joy FM with Kwame Dadzie on Showbiz A-Z, Baba Sadiq disclosed that, he tried to reach out to Stonbwoy and his management on the night of the event but it was to no avail, rather, Stonebwoy’s manager reached out to a colleague with reasons why they did not show up.
“We had reached out. Even on the day of the event we had reached out. We even sent a couple of messages and calls, so after it [the show], we thought that maybe at the right time they would get back on the calls, and that in our efforts to reach out to them, they will return the calls.”
“I was with Ricky. Ricky is my guy and I think that Chief had reached out to Ricky regarding a few things that he had seen online, and was speaking to him about it and then there was an opportunity to speak about Salah and what they felt about it. For example why after the event there wasn’t any communication regarding Shatta’s outburst”, Baba Sadiq stated.
He further reiterated that, in the last few days, he had to speak to Stonebwoy and his manager personally and their reason for not making it to the event was that, they were not happy with Shatta Wale’s addition to the artiste line-up for the concert.
“I think he makes the point that even on the day, on the night, they would have loved to come but they just were not comfortable with the inclusion of Shatta Wale,” he said.
