“We Respect Samini, That Is Why We Perform His Songs” Says Bull Dog

With the long-standing rivalry between Shatta Wale and Samini still raging on, it's quite strange and incomprehensible for any of them to perform the songs of the other on any platform but surprisingly, that's exactly what the Dancehall King, Shatta Wale has been doing in recent times.

At the GH-UK Dancehall Clash, reigning Artiste of the Year, Shatta Wale performed Samini's ''Linda'' to the amazement of his fans and all other people who attended the event. With reasons for his action not known, Shatta Wale left his fans wandering what he had in mind performing Samini's song but as if that's not enough, Shatta Wale has taken the rivalry and controversy between himself and Samini a notch higher.

On Friday October 31, 2014 at the Accra Sports Stadium where Tigo held its historic Tigo Music Unplugged concert to officially outdoor its new Deezer music app, Shatta Wale again stunned the audience when he performed Samini's ''gyae shi''.

 Earlier on, the likes of Akoo Nana, 4x4, Davido, MzVee, Guru, Sarkodie and other artistes had taken their turns to perform to the huge crowd at the stadium.

In an exclusive interview with Sammy Flex on Flex on Pluzz on 89.9fm over the weekend, the Events Manager of Shatta Wale, Lawrence Nana Asiamah Hanson, a.k.a Bulldog admitted that his artiste performed Samini's 'Linda'' and ''gyae shi'' at the GH-UK Dancehall Clash and Tigo Music Unplugged respectively noting that Shatta Wale only did that out of the love and respect he has for Samini as an artiste.

When asked if he was aware of the legal implications of Shatta Wale's action, Bulldog agreed in the affirmative and noted that the management team of Samini has the right to seek legal action against Shatta Wale for performing his (Samini's) song but reiterated that Shatta Wale did that out of the love and respect he has for Samini.

Bull dog was however unable to confirm if Shatta Wale would again perform any of Samini's songs at any concert but was quick to add that Shatta Wale is an artiste full of surprises and capable of doing anything on any stage or platform.

At Tigo Music Unplugged music concert, in as much as Sarkodie performed creditably well, I must admit that Shatta Wale was the man of the night. Other artistes who performed on the night did well except for Akoo Nana, who disregarded the dignity of women, disrespected himself and brought shame onto the music industry  when he came on stage with female dancers who had their breasts uncovered. The dancers were later on whisked off the stage.

Akoo Nana noted that he brought the female dancers on stage to champion a Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign when he was interviewed by Sammy Flex on Flex on Pluzz on 89.9fm even though at the stadium, he never said a word with respect to Breast Cancer.
