Renowned preacher and gospel musician, Sonnie Badu, has praised dancehall artiste Shatta Wale for drawing what he described as the largest crowd in Ghana’s history at the ShattaFest 2025 concert held at the Black Star Square.
In a post shared on his official social media pages on October 20, 2025, Sonnie Badu marveled at the massive turnout, claiming that not even Ghana’s historic Independence Day celebration led by Dr. Kwame Nkrumah attracted such numbers.
“It’s never happened in the history of Ghana, not even on the day of our independence with Dr. Kwame Nkrumah. This is huge. @shattawalenima needs to be studied. We all go throw money for ground, feed the streets and they got your back. Paaa paaa paaa! I think Ghana is evolving and soon we will take the centre stage again,” he wrote.
On October 18, 2025, tens of thousands of fans thronged Independence Square for Shatta Wale’s free birthday concert dubbed “ShattaFest 2025 x Shattabration: The King Calls.”
Fans began arriving hours before the scheduled 4:00 p.m. start time, and by nightfall, the venue and surrounding streets were packed.
The concert featured performances from top Ghanaian artistes including Sarkodie, Samini, Wendy Shay, Medikal, Kelvynboy, Amerado, DarkoVibes, Tinny, JZyNo, Kwame Yogot, and DopeNation, and concluded around 7:05 a.m. on October 19, 2025.
