Shatta Wale make inroads in Jamaica

The encounter between Shatta Wale and the Jamaican fan on TikTok comes just about four months after the musician made big inroads in Jamaica.

Shatta Wale was one of several global stars to perform at Vybz Kartel's Freedom Street concert in Kingston, Jamaica, on New Year's Eve.

The concert, which was to celebrate the release of Kartel after about 13 years in jail, saw the Jamaican, widely considered as the King of Dancehall music, affirming Shatta Wale as the African Dancehall King.

The Ghanaian musician got the Jamaican star dancing with his stage performance, and the latter showered accolades on the former, before blessing him on stage.

Since that performance at the Kingston National Stadium, Shatta Wale's appeal in Jamaica rose as blogs and other media in the Caribbean nation discussed him extensively.

It is no wonder that the Jamaican fan was so excited to have encountered Shatta Wale on TikTok live.
