Captain Smart is a Ghanaian media personality
Media personality, Captain Smart, has made a bold comparison between dancehall musician Shatta Wale and the late Highlife legend, Daddy Lumba.
In a video shared on X on August 22, 2025, Captain Smart noted that the dancehall musician’s creativity can be compared to that of the late Daddy Lumba.
Captain Smart explained that Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has contributed immensely to the Ghana music industry, which qualifies him to be the Daddy Lumba in this generation, as far as artistry is concerned.
“This is not because I like Shatta Wale, but whether you like it or not, Shatta Wale is the Lumba of our time. You can choose to hate him or like him,” he said.
