Dancehall musician, Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has been the center of discussions after his presence was not felt at business mogul, Richard Nii Armah-Quaye’s birthday celebration party over the weekend. <\/p>\n The businessman’s birthday party took place on Saturday, March 22, 2025, and has remained the most talked about party in Accra, in celebration of his 40th year on earth. <\/p>\n The event witnessed influential people of all walks of life, including Ghanaian billionaire, Osei Kwame Despite, musicians such as Stonebwoy, King Promise, Sarkodie, and also some Nigerian personalities in the creative arts industry. <\/p>\n Meanwhile, Shatta Wale, before the much-anticipated celebration, took to his Facebook page on March 14, 2025, to inquire about details of the birthday party, noting that he would like to attend the event. <\/p>\n “Big motivation bro, when is the birthday party? The background song has always been your favorite song of mine, I salute you, sir,” he shared on Facebook. <\/p>\n The “Ayoo” hitmaker further went on to post on his X page a day before the event, indicating that he would charge $600,000 for performing at any event during the weekend. <\/p>\n While the social media post had no connection with Richard Nii Armah’s birthday party, some netizens have linked it to the birthday event. <\/p>\n Also, a video of the dancehall musician has resurfaced on social media after he did not show up at the party, using abusive words on Ghanaian entrepreneur and philanthropist, Osei Kwame Despite. <\/p>\n He is heard saying that he doesn’t need the services of the entrepreneur. <\/p>\n “Kwasi Aboagye I am saying that you, including Despite, are less sensible individuals. I don’t want Despite’s money because when I was sleeping at Circle, who knew about me,” he said. <\/p>\n Now, some industry players and netizens have linked Shatta Wale’s absence at the event to a past feud between him and Despite. <\/p>\n In a post shared on X on March 23, 2025, media personality, Kwadwo Sheldon, noted that Shatta Wale was prevented from performing because of a past feud with Despite. <\/p>\n “Hear me out\u2026 Since he had previously insulted Despite, bringing them together in the same room wasn\u2019t ideal for the occasion. So, your man was given the choice between Despite and Nii, and he chose Despite. The decision not to invite Nii had nothing to do with monetary compensation,” he said. <\/p>\n Media personality, Zionfelix, has, however, debunked the speculations on social media indicating that Richard Nii Armah-Quaye did not invite the business mogul because of Shatta Wale’s disrespect. <\/p>\n According to him, reports he gathered close to the birthday celebrant suggest that Shatta Wale has a personal relationship with Richard Nii Armah-Quaye. <\/p>\n He added that the musician was also not billed to perform on the night of the event because of the $600,000 performance fee speculated on social media. <\/p>\n “What I have gathered is that Wale wasn’t booked as part of the artistes but he is very close to Richard Nii. According to my informant, he heard Wale was going to come because he was invited by Richard. <\/p>\n “Richard was not the one responsible for booking artistes. Also, it is not because Wale had disrespected Despite in the past that is why he was not invited. As to why Wale did not show up, my informant said he would inquire more about it,” he said. <\/p>\n So, on the question of whether Shatta Wale was snubbed at the party, the experts have spoken, although it cannot be sufficiently said to be a full representation of the facts. <\/p>\n Read the post below:<\/b> <\/p>\n Ah Shatta Wale make i shy ooo\ud83e\udd26\ud83c\udffe\u200d\u2642\ufe0f so after all this dem no invite my man\ud83d\ude02 Jetlife\ud83d\ude02\ud83d\ude2d pic.twitter.com\/NwgVujWZIn<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Twilight (@the_marcoli_boy) March 23, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Anywhere you see me this weekend say ade perform no say $600k enter account \ud83d\udcaa #NiiRoyce<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 SHATTA WALE (@shattawalegh) March 20, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Hear me out\u2026 Since he had previously insulted Despite, bringing them together in the same room wasn\u2019t ideal for the occasion.
