| Article Wan and Shatta Wale |
Ghanaian musician and record producer Bright Homenya, popularly known as Article Wan, has urged Ghanaians to separate Shatta Wale’s personality from his talent, emphasizing that the dancehall star's character is an integral part of his craft.
Speaking in an exclusive one-on-one interview on the Daybreak Hitz morning show with DJ Slim on Hitz 103.9 FM, Article Wan highlighted that the Ghanaian music industry often focuses too much on artists' personal lives instead of their musical contributions.
"Shatta Wale’s character is part of his craft. Instead of dwelling on his personality, people should focus on the talent he brings to the industry. He has consistently put Ghana on the map," he stated.
