Ghanaians Criticize “Galamsey King” Great Osama Over Modest Stage for Davido’s GH¢7 Million Concert

Ghanaians have expressed strong disapproval of the stage setup prepared for Davido’s much-anticipated concert tonight at Manso Akwasiso, directing their criticism at Ghana’s so-called “Galamsey King,” Great Osama. The backlash comes in the wake of reports that Osama reportedly paid a staggering GH¢7 million as the booking fee for the Nigerian afrobeats star’s performance.

Images and video clips of the stage have circulated widely on social media, triggering widespread reactions from Ghanaians who are questioning whether the modest-looking setup is befitting of such an enormous financial outlay. Many critics argue that the stage appears underwhelming and fails to reflect the hefty sum allegedly spent to secure Davido’s appearance.

The concert, themed “The Davido Experience,” is scheduled to take place at 9 PM tonight and forms part of the hotel’s third anniversary celebrations. The event has generated considerable buzz, given the involvement of a major international artist and the reported multi-million-cedi booking fee.

However, the online response has been largely dominated by skepticism and disappointment, with many Ghanaians taking to social media to voice their concerns. Commentators have questioned the apparent mismatch between the reported GH¢7 million expenditure and the visual quality of the stage, with some describing the setup as far below expectations for an event of this magnitude.

The criticism highlights growing public scrutiny of event organization and spending, particularly when large sums are involved. For many Ghanaians, the stage’s appearance has raised questions about transparency and value for money in the lead-up to tonight’s show.

As anticipation builds for the concert, all eyes will be on whether the actual performance and overall experience will justify both the hype and the reported investment. For now, however, the conversation online remains focused on the stage and whether it lives up to the occasion.

The event is still expected to draw significant attention, with Davido’s fanbase eager to see the star perform. Whether the criticism will affect turnout or the overall reception of the concert remains to be seen as the night unfolds.
