Award winning Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale and his management team have called off the annual Freedom Wave Concert, which was scheduled to take place at the Accra Sports Stadium on Monday, December 25, 2023.
The decision to drop the very much hyped concert comes following conflict of dates and setting after his music colleague Stonebwoy also announced his Bhim show on Saturday, Friday, December 22, few weeks after Shatta’s.
Shatta Wale was distraught about the decision of the officials of the stadium to consider Stonebwoy’s proposal to have his concert hosted at a scene, he had proactively booked and has been hosting his concerts over the past two years.
In a Facebook Live, Shatta blamed Stonebwoy for endeavoring to disrupt his show with help from authorities of the stadium.
He argued that the interval days after Stonebwoy’s show were not enough since he had been previously told by the sports authorities that he needed at least three days to do a proper setup for his concert.

Shatta Wale’s concerns, and subsequent response from Stonebwoy’s team and explanation from the Director of National Sports Authority, Professor Peter Twumasi did not sit down well with him, and so decided to cancel his show.
This year’s Freedom Wave Concert would have been seven days in length spectacle of activities, and also a joint event with rapper Medikal.
Meanwhile, Sammy Flex, the manager of Shatta Wale, has affirmed the cancellation of the Freedom Wave Concert in a recent interview.
“As a result of this brouhaha, Shatta Wale has decided to cancel the Freedom Wave Concert altogether, he said.
He added that there were no designs to hold the show at an alternate setting until the National Sports Authority (NSA) contacted them, with a positive criticism.
“The show has been cancelled until we receive a positive update from the National Sports Authority (NSA),” he said.
