Self-acclaimed dancehall king, Charles Nii Armah Mensah, wildly known as Shatta Wale, has thrown shades at Chatter House, following the president’s directive that all public gatherings be suspended in wake of the coronavirus cases detected in Ghana.
Charterhouse has slated the 2020 Vodafone Music Awards for 2nd May, but before the main event, there are lined up activities in April geared towards the main event.
Following the ban on all public gatherings, it is obvious that activities planned for the VGMA’s may not come to pass and this seems to have made Shatta Wale very happy.
The ‘Gringo’ crooner took to his twitter page to share his excitement at the ban.
He said, “Man wan show power but see how God show power .. You Ban Shatta wale God will Ban You too Too many sinners want to fight the righteous and that can’t happen under the sun ..Praise the Lord !! Ade believe say that day go come!!”

“I have decided in the interest of public safety and the protection of our population to review the public gathering advisories earlier announced as follows.
