DJ Azonto and Shatta Wale
Ghanaian musician Mark Kwesi Arthur, popularly known as DJ Azonto, says Shatta Wale's concert at Akropong over the weekend was bigger and better than the Ridge Condos event in Kumasi.
According to DJ Azonto, Shatta Wale's stagecraft at the Akropong show was incomparable and better than all the artists who were on the bill for the Ridge Condos.
DJ Azonto's assertion comes after Shatta Wale staged a successful sold-out concert at Akropong while the likes of Stonebwoy, Gyakie, Medikal, and Kidi graced the Ridge Condos concert.
Speaking in an interview, DJ Azonto said he was mesmerized by the stagecraft of Shatta Wale, who he says remains an idol in the Ghanaian music industry.
"If you put all the artists in Ghana, Shatta Wale is second to none. Even though he was not at Ridge Condos, his music was still jamming at the event. I mean, this is someone that a young artist should emulate because he is a blessing to the music industry.
"The turnout at the Akropong concert was massive, and I am glad I supported the show, and I am very proud of him," he said.
DJ Azonto disclosed how he took a convoy of more than 20 cars to the concert, stressing the need for Ghanaian artists to support each other when it comes to concerts.
"It's about time we support one another when it comes to showing appearances. It drives the need for love for the industry to thrive and stop hating each other's success," he said.
