In a YouTube video, the artiste manager noted that the SM boss received an invitation to attend the big birthday bash at the Black Star Square on Saturday, March 22, 2025, contrary to reports that he was snubbed.
Sammy Flex said an influential figure in the Ghanaian event organising space named Soraya personally notified him about Shatta Wale's invitation.
He noted that a Shatta Movement team member received the invitation on Shatta Wale's behalf as he had embarked on a trip to the UK.
Sammy Flex said that unlike other camps, Shatta Wale did not show any interest in attending the star-studded event because he might have had different values.
The artiste manager noted that the dancehall musician was beyond going to parties to eat and dine with others at public events.
Sammy Flex also dismissed claims that Shatta Wale did not attend Richard Nii-Armah Quaye's 40th birthday celebration due to his issues with some of the prominent attendees at the event.
The artiste manager's remarks come after rumours emerged that Shatta Wale was left out of the list of top musicians who were invited to attend the Bills Micro Credit founder's extravagant event.
