Renowned Nigerian video director Choppenson has called out Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale for failing to pay for his services. In a viral video, Choppenson claims that Shatta Wale owes him $5,000 for additional projects worked on during an extended stay in Tamale.
Choppenson alleges that despite their long-standing professional relationship, which includes directing 13 music videos for Shatta Wale, the artist and his team have been avoiding him and neglecting to settle the agreed payment. The initial agreement was for $15,000, but Choppenson claims Shatta Wale has only paid $10,000, leaving a balance of $5,000.
This public call-out has sparked a heated debate in the music industry, with many calling for Shatta Wale to settle the debt and honor his financial commitments. The situation has also raised questions about the importance of contracts and timely payments in the entertainment industry.
Choppenson’s decision to speak out has drawn support from colleagues and fans, who see it as a stand against exploitation. As the story continues to unfold, fans and industry professionals alike are eagerly awaiting Shatta Wale’s response to Choppenson’s allegations. Will the artist settle the debt and restore his reputation, or will this dispute further tarnish his image? Only time will tell.
