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.

You have made Shatta Wale use money to turn you into a fool – Sally Mann fires Sammy Flex
Sammy Flex, the manager of self-proclaimed dancehall king Shatta Wale, has come under fire from controversial entertainment pundit Sally Mann.
Though Sammy Flex's account has changed since he started serving as the dancehall musician's manager, Sally Mann still maintains that she greatly respected Sammy Flex.
Prior to taking on the role of manager for Shatta Wale, she claims that Sammy Flex was well-respected and had high morals.
Sammy Flex could definitely transform the dancehall musician, but Shatta Wale can't use money to change him because Sammy Flex has descended too far. Sally Mann pointed out that Shatta Wale has always been a dictator, so she assumed without reservation.
“When I heard Sammy Flex was Shatta Wale's new manager, I was like, wow! Finally, a sensible guy is going to that tyrant's camp. Because Shatta Wale is a military dictator. I was happy that somebody like Sammy Flex who is sensible is going to that camp to represent the media”, she said.
“I thought Sammy Flex was sensible because he owned a newspaper, he was also a pundit. He was also given a platform at ClassFM to lead huge morning show discussions. So, I respected the fact that he has worked through the ranks to get to where he is”, she added.
“I never knew that when money exchanges hands, when money enters people's pockets, they throw away their morals. Not everyone is like that, I am not like that”, Sally Mann stated.
Sally Mann in furtherance added “You can offer me billions and I will still say what I want to say about you. This so-called manager labeled his earlier talk, a love letter to Andy Dosty, I am also labeling mine as a piece of brotherly advice. This is what I want to tell that manager. He was not able to tame me, so he shouldn't expect anybody to tame me”.

The feud between dancehall mystic Shatta Wale and controversial media personality Sally Mann has reached a very dangerous height.
In a widely shared videoa vailable at Dklassgh.com's news desk, Sally Mann has vowed to beat the musician to a pulp if he dares her.
Sally Mann asserts that she has a problem with the dancehall musician while appearing as a pundit on Power FM, which Dklassgh.com is monitoring.
The media personality, who has named Osei Kwame Despite, Ofori Sarpong, Fadda Dickson, and other people as examples of people he insults, does not appear to understand why the dancehall musician acts invulnerable to criticism despite insulting people who are doing much better than him.
According to Sally Mann, regardless of the musician's numerous insults on her, she would continue to chastise him when the need arises.
She added that, if the dancehall musician thinks he is strong enough, he should let his Shatta Movement boys stay aside and meet her personally, and he would see what would happen to him.
Sally Mann disclosed that when it comes to physical strenght, Shatta Wale is not a challenger, hence, she will beat the hell out of him.
