Shatta Wale: Arnold Asamoah Baidoo Backs Musician To Fill The O2 Arena, Fans React

• Rapper Medikal is the newest Ghanaian artiste to fill the O2 Arena's Indigo venue in London
• He joins a considerable list of artistes, including Sarkodie and Shatta Wale, who have achieved that milestone
• Some fans have begun advocating for some musicians to step into the big league, setting eyes on the 20,000-capacity O2 Arena

As far as music industry success is concerned, filling performance venues will always be a big deal.

Four Ghanaians have filled the O2 Indigo so far since Sarkodie set the pace in 2016. They include Kidi and Kuami Eugene, who jointly shared the glory in 2022, and Medikal, who recently hit the enviable milestone.

Only Shatta Wale has sold out the 2800-capacity twice (2016 and 2018), and some Ghanaians believe he is in pole position to raise the bar for Ghana.
