Shatta Wale confirms performance

On Instagram, Shatta Wale shared his readiness to perform at the 66th edition of the University of Ghana SRC Artiste Night.

The event will crown a packed itinerary of student-led activities, including a health screening and a debate competition.

"It's all about the UG SRC Artiste Night. It's going to be lit. Come watch your boy perform," Shatta Wale confirmed in his video drop.

Some fans thronged the comments section to share their memories of Shatta Wale's previous fiasco, while others expressed their anticipation for the newly announced show.

Speaking to YEN.com.gh about Shatta Wale's upcoming gig, entertainment analyst Yaw Boadu-Ayeboafoh said:

"The universe has a funny way of giving people what they want at the right time. What they were fighting over was just for a hall. This is for the entire student body. Sometimes, the fight is unnecessary. I wish he'd learn from this and not attend every issue with extreme emotions."
