The names Samini and Shatta Wale are now synonymous with pig. They have taken their hard earned names to the laundry with indelible stains difficult for the bleaching powders to fade. It looks like the 2 miss their Kindergarten days so they really visited there this week.
Shatta Wale’s name re-rose to fame after his deviance at Ghana Music Awards. It is said that if you succeed through lies, you maintain that spot with lies and if it is through misbehavior you shoot to fame, what else could sustain you.
Samini is giving www.233times.net confirmation that he has faded and not relevant in the Showbiz Industry lately so he is using all means available to relaunch himself. The popular Fante parlance “when an animal is about to die it exhibits epileptic movements” is manifesting here.
Whilst other Artistes are strategizing to hit the airwaves in Christmas, these two are also showing prowess in comedy and immoral. There are more important issues to address either than using vulgar words to show how much of a Dancehall King one is. Such foolishness!
Shatta Wale should have been the most searched Artiste online in the month of August when Google published the top searched Ghanaian Celebrities but he was no where to be found even though his name keeps recurring in the media since Ghana Music Awards (April). That should be his new endeavour now because as at now, there is no other best way of measuring how much an Artiste or Celeb is sorted than online statistics.
Samini should aim something higher with the MOBO Award he won years back as spring board. He should look for other talents to sign in addition to Kofi Kinaata to strengthen his High Grade Family Label.
As at now, no Ghanaian in Showbiz could afford to stay at Trassaco, the plushiest area in the country and that shows how empty they are but they waste time on irrelevant issues rather than developments. Most of the Artistes in Ghana are renting and they are so content with little fame and deficient bank accounts.
Foreign Artistes come to Ghana and take 20times what the Ghanaian Artistes take and all our Artistes can do best is sitting with their hands in their thighs comfortably.
I want to put the full stop here before I lose my morals and be added to them but before I drop my pen, if these two leading names are licking the water in the gutters at a cheetah pace, what advice would they give to an Up and Coming Artiste who approach them backstage at an event?
I have wandered the advice Shatta Wale in particular would give an Up and Coming Artiste if he is consulted for help.
I shall be back! This is an UGLY TRUTH!
