Dancehall artist Shatta Wale, whose real name is Charles Nii Armah Mensah, has revealed a new program to identify and nurture the country’s future musical talent.
The program, known as the Accra Invasion Project (AIP), aims to discover, support, and develop the artistic potential of up-and-coming musicians in Greater Accra.
The “Killa Ji Me” crooner revealed the project on his Facebook page, asking Ghanaians to support it and help elevate local talent.
September 16, he said in his post, “The Accra Invasion project (AIP).” My group and I have made the decision today to find talent in Greater Accra, the nation’s capital. If any local artists are mentioned in this endeavor, I urge everyone to get ready to support them. When we work together, we can have a big effect.
With hashtags like #AIP, #SM, and #ShattaAndFansAlbum, it’s anticipated that the Accra Invasion Project would provide up-and-coming artists a chance to show off their abilities on a bigger stage. Fans of Ghanaian music are excited to see who will be the next great stars, and Shatta Wale’s initiative could inject some much-needed vitality into the sector.
On September 13, Shatta Wale made a promise to provide GHC 20,000 to a special needs fan so that he may receive medical attention.
The support from the “Killa Ji Mi” hitmaker comes after Berla Mundi spoke with Samuel Akonnor, a fan, on TV3’s The Day Show.
In the interview that aired on Sunday, September 8, Samuel—a patient with cervical dystonia—spoke about his long-standing wish to meet Shatta Wale, his favorite musician.
Following the circulation of a brief video clip from the interview, in which Berla was seen making an impassioned plea to the Dancehall musician, Wale has pledged to assist Samuel with his medical care and has indicated that he would be open to seeing his fan.
“Bella Mundi, I’m coming for an interview and I’m also giving the youngster 20kghc because of this humble boy.In response to the video on X, Shatta Wale said, “Let’s do this interview asap.”
