Shatta Wale has
finally opened up on the reasons behind the cancellation of his 'Gift of God'
album.
According to
Shatta on a Twitter Space with fans, the 'Gift of God' album was leaked on
digital stores by a Ghanaian individual after being kept for three years.
He also revealed
that he was also having difficulty getting international artists like Beyoncé
and others which made him choose to cancel the project and focus on another.
“I couldn’t get
some of the features for instance…I was trying my possible best and up till now
and to that course and that is why I’m saying when White people come and
exploit that’s what the table looks like”
“When Beyoncé
wanted to feature me, I swear to God I didn’t want to continue that process
again….You know why? Because a Ghanaian that followed that thing was
coordinating for that thing went all wrongly…… Bey and her team actually wanted
me to fly from Ghana with the crew. So like the way I travel with 16 people, 12
people but our Ghanaians with their pressure forced me now I want to feature
Beyoncé, now I’m getting problems, now the same Ghanaian person can’t even get
me that feature and that was the things that got me pissed with the whole
album" Shatta Wale said.
Shatta Wale also explained how some of the tracks from the unreleased album were leaked, saying that a Ghanaian representative connected him with the Nigerians for the album project.
“And then I got
some distributors to also get me like a deal in Nigeria and everything was
going on properly but before I realized a paper that was supposed to give me to
sign so that they can give me an amount of money to shoot my videos which was
spoken to TG Omori to shoot my videos…
I don’t know
what happened but I gave them a list to just test them on how they can keep my
songs and that wasn’t the list that I wanted them just to see what will happen
but they just leaked those ones which means, the person that connected me to
those Nigerians and stuff……
That person is
in Ghana and as I’m talking to you now, his house papers I have them. Me I
don’t play like that and I told him that I don’t want to go to court” — He
concluded
The ‘Gift Of
God’ album was supposed to be released on Friday, June 17, 2022, but that never
happened
