Mr Eazi Praises Shatta Wale for Supporting His Shows Without Payment

Nigerian entrepreneur and musician Mr Eazi has praised Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale for what he describes as his consistent willingness to support his shows without requesting payment.

According to the statement attributed to Mr Eazi, he normally pays artistes who perform at his events, but Shatta Wale has been an exception, reportedly showing up to support him without being asked.

“I always pay artistes to perform at my shows, but I’ve never paid Shatta Wale. He always shows up to support without me even asking,” Mr Eazi said.

The remarks highlight the importance of personal relationships and mutual support within the African entertainment industry, where collaboration between artistes can extend beyond formal bookings and performance fees.

For event organisers, paying performers is a common practice that recognises the time, preparation and professional commitment required to appear on stage. However, when artistes attend events voluntarily, their presence can also demonstrate friendship, loyalty and a willingness to support colleagues’ projects.

Shatta Wale is one of Ghana’s most prominent dancehall musicians and is widely recognised for his energetic performances and strong connection with fans. His career has included collaborations and interactions with artistes from Ghana and other African countries, helping strengthen connections across the continent’s music scene.

Mr Eazi, meanwhile, has built a profile as both a musician and an entrepreneur, with business interests in the entertainment industry. His comments about Shatta Wale draw attention to the role that professional relationships can play in building successful events and sustaining connections between music personalities.

The statement may also resonate with emerging artistes who often depend on the support of established performers to gain exposure, attract audiences and expand their networks.

Although the specific shows and occasions referenced by Mr Eazi were not identified in the available statement, his remarks present Shatta Wale’s reported support as an example of assistance that goes beyond financial arrangements.

The comments have brought renewed attention to the relationship between the two entertainment figures and the value of showing up for colleagues without expecting payment in return.

Further context would be needed to establish the occasions Mr Eazi was referring to, but his message centres on appreciation for the support he says Shatta Wale has offered him over time.
