Vida Adutwumwaa Reveals Real Reason Why Shatta Wale Cancelled His Freedom Wave Concert
During her appearance on UTV’s United Showbiz, Vida Adutwumwaa provided insight into the underlying cause behind Shatta Wale’s decision to cancel his highly anticipated Freedom Wave concert.
As an entertainment pundit and the PRO of the 3Music Awards, she candidly expressed that the primary reason for the cancellation was simply a lack of preparation on Shatta Wale’s part. Vida firmly stated that if Shatta Wale and his management had adequately prepared for the event, it would have been unrealistic for them to cancel it.
In her professional opinion, their lack of readiness ultimately led to the unfortunate decision to call off the planned concert. Importantly, Vida emphasized that the cancellation was not a result of any external ultimatum but rather a consequence of Shatta Wale’s own unpreparedness.
She stated, “He is not prepared. As an artist of his caliber, he should be ready to perform regardless of the allocated time. Even Stonebwoy’s manager mentioned having discussions with Shatta Wale’s team to come to a workable agreement, but he declined. Therefore, Shatta Wale should not base his cancellation on the talks that his colleague had booked the venue.”
In conclusion, she emphasized that Shatta Wale simply was not adequately prepared and should stop trying to convince the public that she was being sabotaged.

Shatta Wale went live on Facebook on Tuesday evening to inform his fans that his much-publicized Freedom Wave Concert has been cancelled and it has everything to do with his rival Stonebwoy.
Thus he launched a scathing attack on one of the daughters of the president of the Republic of Ghana, who is believed to be in charge of releasing the stadium for bookings.
Shatta Wale said that attempts had been made by members of the National Sports Authority (NSA) and a president’s daughter, whom he would not name, to give Stonebwoy permission to have a concert at the Accra Sports Stadium on the same day that he was also planning to hold an event there.
The president’s daughter has instructed the NSA to grant Stonebwoy access to the Accra Sports Stadium for his event on December 22, which is scheduled to take place three days before Shatta Wale’s Freedom Wave Concert, which is scheduled for December 20 to 26, 2023, according to Shatta Wale.
“When we are telling you that what you dey do will cause a problem because if Stonebwoy dey come do his show 22nd, it go enter into 23rd. How many days do you want us to use to our setup and festivities?” he said in pidgin.
He emphasized that the date for Stonebwoy’s event would not allow him and his team to properly set up for the climax of the Freedom Wave Concert and thus questioned the rationale behind the alleged intervention of the president’s daughter in the matter.
