The manager for Shatta Wale, Sammy Flex has provided insights into the abrupt cancellation of Shatta Wale’s highly anticipated show in Wolverhampton, UK. He explained that Shatta Wale encountered various health problems during his stay in the UK. Despite these health issues, Shatta Wale was determined to connect with his fans in Wolverhampton.
“Whilst we were still preparing, he fell ill. Weather changes, cold flu here and there. So he became a little weak within that time.
“Then we said, okay, we still want to play this show. We don’t want to disappoint our people. So what can we do now? Let’s make things comfortable for him so he can play this show,” he said on GHOne TV.
He added that after meeting with the organizers, he suggested that a helicopter be provided to take Shatta to the venue instead of undergoing a long drive from London to Wolverhampton.
“He doesn’t want to go through a long drive from London City to Wolverhampton. We told them that to make it simple, let’s airlift him, for a maximum of 45 minutes. Let’s airlift him to Wolverhampton.
“When we do that, he can get some rest. He will not be stressed, at least the little energy in him, he will be able to maintain it for the performance moving forward,” he added.
However, the organizers didn’t seem receptive to the idea, responding with, “At this stage, we can’t do it.”
Background
Shatta Wale’s highly anticipated concert in Wolverhampton, originally scheduled for November 4, 2023, was suddenly canceled by his management. They attributed the cancellation to the organizers’ inability to meet the artist’s extensive demands, both in terms of logistics and finances.
In response to the cancellation, Bizzle Entertainment expressed their surprise and disappointment. They pointed out a lack of prior communication from Shatta Movement Empire, emphasizing that their agreement stipulated the need for discussions in case of unforeseen circumstances or disputes before any public announcements.
Bizzle Entertainment also confirmed their compliance with all contractual obligations, including an initial 50% down payment. They regarded the cancellation as a violation of the signed contract and are actively pursuing a mutually agreeable resolution.
