A media personality has taken a swipe at dancehall star Shatta Wale following reports that he refused to perform at the highly anticipated RNQ40 event due to payment concerns.
According to unverified reports sighted by NewsandVibes, Shatta Wale allegedly backed out of the event, claiming that the amount offered was not up to his expectations.
It is rumored that he demanded the same performance fee as international stars Davido and Diamond Platnumz, which reportedly led to his absence from the show.
Reacting to this, the media personality criticized Shatta Wale for expecting to receive the same fees as top-tier African artists like Davido and Burna Boy.
He argued that while the dancehall act desires equal pay, he must first assess whether his brand holds the same weight as those he wants to be compared to.
The media figure emphasized that Shatta Wale should not assume he is on the same level as Davido, both in terms of global recognition and market value, and therefore should not expect similar treatment.
This commentary has sparked mixed reactions, with some fans defending Shatta Wale’s demand for better compensation, while others agree that he needs to elevate his brand before seeking higher performance fees.
