Ghanaian born UK-based artist, Fuse ODG has asserted that Beyonce will be the one to benefit most for featuring Shatta Wale – Ghana’s acclaimed dancehall king.
American singer, songwriter and actress Beyonce featured Shatta Wale on a world trending song ‘already‘ which has mostly the dancehall king a world wide recognition.
As it appears, Shatta is the only Ghanaian musician on Beyonce’s new project ‘The Lion King: The Gift’, although the album has quite a number of Nigerian A-list artist on it.
Speaking on 3FM Wednesday on the development, the Azonto hit maker said the feature provides an opportunity for the American singer to make a mark in Africa.
“I think Beyoncé benefits the most from obviously Africa certifying her, because there is nobody cooler than Africans right now. So Beyoncé actually being a part of this soundtrack to me, it benefits her a lot greater. She’s getting certification from real African people.
“Definitely we should be helping Beyoncé, and of course helping each other in terms of the platforms that she has, but in terms of legitimacy for African music…Remember ‘Lion King’ is set in Africa.
“So really, it should have really been hosted by an African artiste, but I think having Beyoncé on board, of course, she has a crazy reach and all the African artistes involved should give her the certification she needs,” he said.
Fuse ODG also said with Ghana being a preferred holiday destination in Africa, it shoud not come as a surprise should Beyoncé visit the country soon.
“I wouldn’t be surprised to see Beyoncé in Ghana enjoying herself because Ghana is the hottest thing right now, and of course in Ghana Shatta Wale is our legend and to me it makes sense and I hundred per cent support it,” he endorsed.
