Shatta Wale to present Worchester Key to Nana Addo
Self-acclaimed Dancehall King, Charles Nii Armah Mensah, has said he will present the award Key to the city of Worcester in the United States to President Akufo-Addo when he returns to Ghana from his tour in the USA.
Shatta Wale as he is popularly known received the keys from the Mayor of the City of Worcester in Massachusetts, Joseph Petty, in recognition of his contributions to the arts industry.
The Key to Worcester symbolizes that the owner has all the rights and privileges of a free man in the city.
In a phone call interview, the ‘Dancehall Commando' disclosed he will present the Award to the President of Ghana, HE Nana Akufo-Addo to portray that under his political administration he had won this award.
He further added that he will plead with the first man of the country to open up the sectors of the Ghanaian Entertainment Industry to move the nation forward in terms of recognition abroad.
“With the key I have. I want to bring it to our president to thank him that under his governance I have received something in the name of Ghana so I want him to open up our industry for us…” he disclosed to Okay FM on Wednesday.
The ‘Ayoo' hit maker further urged the media to shun ‘fake' and harsh reports on Ghanaian musicians since people abroad pay a lot of mind to that in terms of musical collaborations.
He revealed that his fans in America were ultimately surprised to realize he wasn't as ‘cruel' as the media portray him and were happy to spend wonderful time with him taking photos and interviews.
“There are so many people interested in our industry but they [Media] paint us black…It is killing the market outside Ghana. When I come to America people love me. They don't know why I am so cool and what they read on the internet doesn't tally with my attitude…”
“I feel bad talking about the media. I get messages from some radio stations and I don't talk to them. I know on whose side they are. I am sorry if I am stepping on some toes in the media…I know those who support Shatta and I respect them…” he stressed.

JUST IN: Kuami Eugene involved in a ghastly car Accident (PHOTOS)
Award-winning Ghanaian musician Kuami Eugene, sustained injuries on Sunday night after ramming his car into a tipper truck.
The accident occurred at CP, close to the DSTV office towards the Dzowulu traffic light in Accra.
According to the Editor for Modern Ghana news portal, Emmanuel Ajarfor Abugri who witnessed the accident, he was right behind the musician's car when the accident happened around 11:30 pm.
He told Myjoyonline.com that he only noticed it was the musician in the car with one male passenger when he went closer to offer assistance.
“I was behind him, and so I was the first person to rush to his rescue. I arranged for a vehicle to convey him together with one person onboard to the UGMC hospital.”
He explained that the tipper truck was in motion but moving slowly when the musician crashed into it from behind.
He believes the accident occurred because the N1 highway is dark due to poor lighting, while the tipper truck also lacked tail light worsening visibility.
Ajarfor also says he called in police officers from the Achimota Police Station to the scene who towed his car.
According to him, the artiste appears to have broken his arm as a cut was visible with blood all over.
“He's fine. He had a broken arm with blood all over his hands. The car is badly damaged and all the airbags were out. He could have died”he said.
The artiste was in a range rover with registration number, GC- 220-21.
