Shatta Wale Was Not Given Helicopter He Demanded- Sammy Flex Speaks On UK Concert Fiasco
Sammy Flex, the manager for Shatta Wale, has shed light on the circumstances surrounding the abrupt cancellation of Shatta Wale’s highly anticipated concert in Wolverhampton, UK.
He mentioned that despite encountering numerous health challenges during his time in the UK, Shatta Wale remained resolute in his desire to connect with his devoted fans in Wolverhampton.
In light of this, Sammy Flex revealed that he proposed the idea of arranging a helicopter to transport Shatta Wale to the venue, as opposed to subjecting him to a lengthy journey from London to 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 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.”
Recall that a day after Shatta Wale, through his management team, released a statement elucidating the reasons behind his decision to not honour his concert at The Hangar in Wolverhampton on November 4, 2023, Bizzle Entertainment, the organizers of the show, promptly responded.
According to Bizzle Entertainment, the statement issued by the Shatta Movement contained numerous factual inaccuracies that, in their view, ought to be corrected.
A specific section of their statement highlights the explicit agreement between Bizzle Entertainment and Shatta Movement Empire. This agreement clearly states that in the event of unforeseen circumstances or disputes, both parties are expected to engage in meaningful dialogue before making any public announcements or decisions regarding concert cancellations.
Bizzle Entertainment expressed their disappointment that Shatta Movement Empire chose to announce the cancellation of the event on social media without prior communication or notice to them regarding any concerns or demands. They emphasized their willingness and preparedness to address any issues that may have arisen, as they have consistently done throughout their working relationship. Read the full statement here
