Akwasi Aboagye claims Shatta overcharges for shows
This apology came in the wake of an incident in October 2023 when Shatta Wale launched an attack on Despite Media and its owners, including Dr Osei Kwame Despite, as well as broadcaster Akwasi Aboagye.
Shatta Wale’s outburst was triggered after Aboagye, a broadcaster associated with one of the Despite Media brands claimed that the artist overquotes his performance charges.
He questioned Shatta Wale’s claim that he had been paid £80,000 for his performance at the Ghana Music Awards UK 2023, asserting that the figure was exaggerated.
In response, Shatta Wale angrily insulted both Aboagye and the management of Despite Media.
