Shatta Wale, Stonebwoy, Medikal, Efya & others nominated for AFRIMMA 2017
By Sandra Kissi
Most often, entertainment lovers are mesmerized by new hairstyles from the favorite people in the arts. Recently, Wizkid and Olamide going blonde and Guru having dreads sparked some conversations about whether it best suited them or not. It seems, Ghanaian record producer, Fortune Dane has towed the same line by changing his hairstyle to braids.
Fortune Dane who over the years has won the hearts of many hip hop lovers with his productions such as Original & Hand To Mouth and has established himself as a hip-hop artist (having a banging record (Head Shots) with the Highest, Sarkodie) was spotted on social media sharing his new hairstyle. He even included the caption ” Khal Drogo” in one of the captions (well, he has his Khaleesi by his side).
When contacted by Beatz Nation, Fortune Dane revealed that the motivation behind the hair style was that he had been doing some corporate gigs for a while , hence his simple look all these years.
He said “It’s nothing new , i’ve been doing this since i was a child . I just had to look the part because of corporate jobs. But i’m off that now , so i’m free” .

I think the hairstyle would have been a bit more nicer without the parting in the middle of his head. However, it’s a great attempt. 🙂

For any musician looking forward to collaborating with Shatta Wale, looks like you need to work really hard. Nigerian superstar Seyi Shay was recently a guest on the online women empowerment show Trendsetters with Yaa Somuah and she disclosed that she finally got the chance to collaborate with Shatta Wale after many failed attempts.
Seyi Shay revealed….
”Shatta Wale is somebody I wanted to work with two years ago when I first came to Ghana with Patoranking, I wanted to work with him but I don’t think I was big enough then. He didn’t agree.”
Seyi Shay who has had fair share of controversies with other women in the African music industry talked to Yaa Somuah about how women need to get over their egos, her close relationship with songstress Efya and what happened behind the scenes during her video shoot with Sarkodie. Check out the full interview below for all the juicy details.

Why Shatta Wale Refused To Work With Seyi Shay
Dancehall artiste, Samini, says his fellow industry player, Shatta Wale, owes him a thank you because he (Samina) was the “blueprint” that propelled Shatta Wale to stardom.
“I played a heavy role in bringing Bandana to the forefront of Ghana dancehall by just being relevant,” Samini told Accra-based Starr FM’s Bola Ray on Wednesday, 16 August, insisting that Shatta Wale, who he still prefers to call Bandana despite his rebranding, must be grateful to “the blueprint” – him (Samini) – for his (Shatta Wale’s) current fame and popularity in the dancehall industry.
“I’ve always been on top,” Samini said in response to a question about whether he still considered himself as the Dancehall King of Ghana.
“He [Shatta Wale] should always say thanks to the blueprint [Samini] because I’ve been there and he looked at me, targeted me. He threw shots at me because I was on top and still at the top. He knows that. So I became his main target, so now I guess he is even tired of answering questions about my name because wherever you will go, I promise you that they will ask you: what’s your problem with the artiste Samini?” Samini said.
Asked what he thought has been the root cause of the animosity between the two of them, Samini responded: “I don’t think there is a problem because personally I was minding my business, doing my thing and the last time I remember having any encounter with him was when I put him on a my tour in 2004 for my first album so we went to the length and breadth of Ghana and he had the experience of it but that’s as far as I know but I was doing my thing. … I recognised him as the next dancehall artiste coming up…
“The next time I heard singles, shots being thrown at me, fabricated stories here and there, and then he will go on radio saying I sabotaged him and I made sure he didn’t play the Beenie Man concert and I told promoters, show organisers not to put him on gigs. I never did that so I went on a radio station and I challenged him to show me one person, one promoter who would testify that I did that and then we call a spade a spade. These are stuff that you do to get attention and then when you have good songs, when you get the attention, you push the songs through and that’s what he did. [It made him popular and through that I made him popular],” Samini said.
Despite the career animosity, Samini admitted: “I like him that’s why I put him on tour in 2014,” adding that: “He is a talented artiste” and would not mind putting him back on his tour.
He, however, described most of Shatta Wale’s tracks as “bubble gum” songs, explaining that his songs disappear as fast as they bang on the scene.
Samini, who recently released a new single “My Own”, admitted he listens to some of Shatta Wale’s songs by chance but said he never goes searching for his songs to play.
