In a recent interview, award-winning Tamale-based artist Fancy Gadam has shed light on the massive financial investment behind his upcoming concert featuring Ghanaian dancehall king, Shatta Wale. According to the “Total Cheat” hitmaker, flying Shatta Wale and his entourage of 18 people to Tamale will cost a staggering GHC80,000 — and that’s just for flight tickets alone.
“This doesn’t include hotel accommodations or food,” Fancy Gadam clarified, underscoring the magnitude of the logistical effort involved in bringing such a high-caliber act to the North. The statement came as part of a broader message to fans and the general public about the need to recognize and appreciate the scale of professionalism and resources invested in their events.
“It’s high time Northerners respect me and my team,” he declared. “No Northern artist has ever gone to this level to ensure quality and standard for a concert.”
Fancy Gadam, known for his energetic performances and strong fan base across the Northern Region and beyond, has continuously broken barriers and bridged the gap between Northern music and the mainstream Ghanaian music industry. His decision to feature Shatta Wale is part of a strategic move to further elevate the Northern music scene and spotlight Tamale as a major entertainment hub.
The upcoming concert promises to be one of the biggest events in Tamale this year, and with such a high-level commitment from both artists, expectations are soaring.
Fans have since taken to social media to express their admiration for Fancy Gadam’s relentless drive and dedication to excellence, with many applauding him for not only dreaming big but also backing it with action.
As preparations continue, the music community and fans alike eagerly await what is expected to be a historic and unforgettable night in Northern Ghana’s entertainment history.
