Following a rant by Ghanaian dancehall star, Shatta Wale, about Nigerians during his concert in Ghana, some Nigerian entertainers has responded.<\/p>\n

Recall that during the show, he paused and revealed he had been told he wouldn\u2019t be able to pull such a huge crowd without Nigerian artistes on the bill.<\/p>\n

Shatta Wale<\/a> said, \u201cThey said I won\u2019t be able to fill my own stadiums, I don\u2019t need any Nigerian artiste to sell out Ghana\u2019s stadium, f**k Nigerian artistes.\u201d<\/p>\n

His comment didn\u2019t go down well with Nigerians who pointed out that they are not his enemies and that there wasn\u2019t a competition in the first place.<\/p>\n

Reactions<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

Popular DJ, BigN, who reshared the insulting video said, \u201cMy dear shattawalenima I watched this video more than once. I tried to see your point. We are not the enemy. You can\u2019t blatantly say \u201cFxxK Nigerians\u201d and think there won\u2019t be any repercussions. We are not to blame that you are a local champion.<\/p>\n

\u201cStop this bickering and talk true, Naija man don collect your babe again abi?\u201d he asked in Pidgin English.<\/p>\n

Comedian, Ushbebe labelled Shatta Wale\u2019s rant, \u201cUseless talk \u2026 I no even expect more from am.\u201d<\/p>\n

For actor, IK Ogbonna, the dancehall singer\u2019s rant is simply hate speech against the Nigerian people and demanded an apology.<\/p>\n

He said, \u201cMr Shattawalenima, you are a total and complete disappointment. In a time where we should be growing together and helping each other through creative collaborations. You should appreciate the Nigerian artiste because a win for any Nigerian artiste is a win for Africa. How do you promote unity with utterances like this? This is very weak from you. Deal with your complex issues and grow up. As an artist, I have featured in a few Ghana movies and I have also worked with amazing, adorable Ghanaians here in Nigeria. You should totally apologise for this #hatespeech\u201d<\/p>\n

Singer, Mr 2Kay took a relaxed view to the rant, saying, \u201cWe go still come Ghana come flex \u2764\ufe0f NIGERIANS Lead others follow. Proudly Nigerian \ud83c\uddf3\ud83c\uddec\u201d<\/p>\n
