Why Abena Moet refused to play Shatta Wale's song on air (Video)
Abena Moet, an entertainment presenter on Neat FM, has publicly expressed her disapproval of playing any songs by Shatta Wale during a live broadcast, leading to a notable on-air disagreement with her colleague, Ola Michael.
The situation unfolded when a listener called in, requesting to hear a track from the controversial artist, to which Ola Michael initially agreed.
However, Abena Moet quickly interjected, making it clear that she would not support the request.
She cited Shatta Wale’s disrespectful comments towards their station’s owner, Osei Kwame Despite, as the primary reason for her stance.
She firmly stated that Shatta Wale’s songs should not be played on their platform, emphasizing that all the staff at the station share this sentiment and have not forgiven the artist for his previous outbursts.
Abena Moet’s passionate response highlighted the ongoing tensions between Shatta Wale and Despite Media, which escalated following Shatta Wale’s derogatory remarks aimed at Akwasi Aboagye, another presenter at the station.
These comments were made after Aboagye questioned the validity of Shatta Wale’s claim regarding a substantial payment for his appearance at the Ghana Music Awards UK 2023.
Since the incident, Shatta Wale has been effectively blacklisted from the station, as the management and staff have collectively decided to distance themselves from him.
The incident has sparked discussions on social media about professionalism and respect within the entertainment industry, reflecting the broader implications of personal conflicts between artists and media outlets.
Abena Moet’s firm stance serves as a reminder of the potential consequences artists may face when they publicly attack those in the media who play a crucial role in promoting their work.
