Abongo made news when he walked on stage to break up popular MC Manuel’s show and prevent him from turning up while Shatta Wale was performing, which caused a debate on social media.
Videos of the dancehall star's bodyguard on stage showed him firmly exchanging words with the disc jockey.
At the moment, some audience members were confused about what was happening, but we learned that Abongo had not acted spontaneously, but in an official capacity.
According to sources who know the bodyguard, Shatta Wale does not often perform with a backer on stage, and the process needs to be followed.

Meet Abongo, Shatta Wale's loyal team member
Abongo has been well known in Shatta Wale's inner circle as the loyal, serious, and disciplined man he is.
Hardly ever seen smiling, he is known for his serious demeanour, focused and disciplined attitude, and work ethic.
Abongo has been mentioned in a couple of Shatta Wale's songs, including Star Boy and Hey Uncle.
He is always dedicated to the situation when he is around his boss.
His overall intense demeanour in the suite before performances is coordinated with Shatta Wale to ultimately make sure he performs perfectly and the best performances are executed without interferences.
Vitiligo beauty shines at Tidal Rave festival
Meanwhile, a young lady with vitiligo has become the toast of social media after stepping out in style for the Tidal Rave Festival.
The young lady has a chronic autoimmune disorder that causes patches of skin to lose pigment (colour).
In a video which surfaced online, she was seen wearing a scanty red top over a short black skirt.
Her outfit ensured that the disparity in her skin colour caused by her vitiligo showed glaringly from her face to her feet.
Arriving with a young man by his side, they moved towards a group of other young men and exchanged pleasantries with them.

Fan leaves hospital to attend ShattaFest
Previously, YEN.com.gh reported that a young man said he left the hospital with an IV drip to attend Shatta Wale's 2025 ShattaFest concert.
The fan, known as Ala Ghana, said he had been receiving malaria treatment but could not pass up the opportunity to see his idol in person.
Despite his mother’s pleading, the man, with his drip still attached, said he insisted on the event by Shatta Wale, whom he called a 'godfather'.
