Shatta Wale has criticized other Ghanaian musicians who support limiting the amount of Nigerian music played on Ghanaian radio stations.

He stated in a series of X posts that he thought Nigerian music would continue to eclipse Ghanaian music, even in the event that Ghanaian media adopted the local content policy.

According to him, even if the local content policy is put into place for airplay, the government cannot compel Ghanaians to stream music from the country, so the policy won’t have much of an impact in the age of streaming.

According to the singer, Ghana will need “roughly the year 5050” to catch up to Nigeria in terms of musical output.

“The way Wizkid and Davido and Burna Boy love Ghana nu, you people wan play dem a song 20%?,” Shatta Wale wrote in Ghanaian Pidgin.

“No issue. They have a song that will make your woman wet all night. It will take you all about 5050 years before you get what Naija is getting.

You have a very bad wannabe spirit. Is Ghanaians being forced to listen to your favorite music? Wizkid is liked by them.

“Your artist is not making a lot of money quickly. Play some Ghanaian music, he said. You know, DJs play your song so much, but you never give them credit. You’re all so shameful. Your performer is not a shi shi.

“Poor artist, poor fan! Music is not dead.
