Abeka Salahfest: Shatta Wale was only added to performer’s list a day to the event – Sammy Flex
Manager of Shatta Wale, Sammy Flex has disclosed that his artiste was only included to the list of performers for the Abeka Salahfest a day before the event.
Speaking to Nana Kwame Gyan on Onua FM, Flex explained that communication between the artiste and organisers of the event only concluded officially a day to the event.
He said organisers of the event only advertised the artiste after official communications had been concluded.
“Initially he was not advertised and part of the deal because communications with him had not concluded. They were only able to finish communications I think a day before the event so it was after that before they advertised him as part of artistes to perform,” he stated.

Meanwhile, Sammy Flex has clarified his artiste’s rants and agitations on stage during the recent Abeka Salahfest.
Two of the top Dancehall and Reggae musicians, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy, were billed to perform on Thursday, April 11 at the Abeka Salahfest.
However, Shatta Wale was left furious and agitated after Stonebwoy boycotted the event despite waiting for several hours to perform after Stonebwoy had done his performance.
Speaking in an interview on Onua FM, Friday, April 12, Sammy Flex disclosed the reason for Stonebwoy’s boycott.
He claimed that organisers of the event had informed them that due to Wale’s inclusion in the concert, Stonebwoy decided to boycott despite earlier agreement to perform.
“The organisers had given us 2am as time for performance because they said Stonebwoy would perform first for us to follow. So, it delayed our performance because it was around 3 am before I called Shatta and informed him that from the look of things, the organisers do not think that Stonebwoy will perform.
“From the conversations with the organisers, they made us understand that it was because Shatta was included in the event that is why Stonebwoy did not come to perform,” Flex explained.
