He however added that is is high time musicians in Africa aimed for the world stage.

“The new African musician must see the globe as their environment or village, not their home. Now is the only time,” he stated.

Meanwhile, Cwesi Oteng recently presented his new album ‘Anthems’ to the President Nana Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee House.

He is however popular for songs like ‘God Dey Bless Me’, ‘Kabiyesi’, ‘Next in Line’, ‘Yahweh’, among others.

The latter end of 2017 seems to have dancehall King, Shatta Wale making lots of headlines in one controversy or another.

Shatta was recently invited to the Flagstaff House by President Akufo Addo on his birthday.

Many therefore did not expect to hear him engage in any form of misconduct after his visit.

This is because, they believe that since Shatta presented himself as the representative of the youth, he should rather portray good behaviors to inspire the youth.

Many have therefore condemned his recent and consistent involvement in what they describe as ‘irresponsible’ behaviors.

One of such people is Gospel Musician Cwesi Oteng.

Cwesi Oteng who was speaking on GhOne TV indicated that Shatta Wale has lived a contradictory life.

He insisted that his actions are sending wrong signals and messages to the youth rather than encouraging them to greatness.

Cwesi Oteng’s Speech

According to him, Shatta Wale presented himself to the government as the representative of the youth. But some happenings after he visited the Flagstaff house has made the President regret allowing him inside the Flagstaff house.

Cwesi Oteng indicated that the ‘Taking over’ hitmaker has been irresponsible with his dealings.

He said, “So I think that it’s quite very irresponsible of him as much I respect him, he is a very influential artist in Ghana”.

Shatta Wale after visiting the President has attacked Nigerians with vulgar languages on social media. He also gave gunshot warnings, motivated the youth to smoke wee which is illegal in Ghana and have also assaulted one of his bodyguards.
