On Twitter Space recently, Shatta Wale explained to his fans why he pulled the plugs on his much-anticipated Gift of God and what went on behind the scenes that informed his infamous decision. <\/p>\n

According to him, aside from some international collabs he failed to land, the Ghanaian Dancehall act also mentioned that a Ghanaian confidant leaked the songs on some digital stores.<\/p>\n

\u201cI couldn\u2019t get some of the features for instance\u2026I was trying my possible best and up till now and to that course and that is why I\u2019m saying when White people come and exploit that\u2019s what the table looks like\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

– –<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen Beyonc\u00e9 wanted to feature me, I swear to God I didn\u2019t want to continue that process again\u2026.You know why? Because a Ghanaian that followed that thing was coordinating for that thing went all wrongly\u2026\u2026 Bey and her team actually wanted me to fly from Ghana with the crew. <\/em><\/p>\n

So like the way I travel with 16 people, 12 people but our Ghanaians with their pressure forced me now I want to feature Beyonc\u00e9, now I\u2019m getting problems, now the same Ghanaian person can\u2019t even get me that feature and that was the things that got me pissed with the whole album\u201d\u00a0<\/em>Shatta Wale said.<\/p>\n

Shatta Wale also explained how some of the tracks from the unreleased album were leaked, saying that a Ghanaian representative connected him with the Nigerians for the album project.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd then I got some distributors to also get me like a deal in Nigeria and everything was going on properly but before I realized a paper that was supposed to give me to sign so that they can give me an amount of money to shoot my videos which was spoken to TG Omori to shoot my videos\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know what happened but I gave them a list to just test them on how they can keep my songs and that wasn\u2019t the list that I wanted them just to see what will happen but they just leaked those ones which means, the person that connected me to those Nigerians and stuff\u2026\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

That person is in Ghana and as I\u2019m talking to you now, his house papers I have them. Me I don\u2019t play like that and I told him that I don\u2019t want to go to court\u201d<\/em>\u00a0\u2014 He concluded<\/p>\n
