Shatta Wale’s absence from business mogul Richard Nii Armah Quaye’s exclusive RNAQ40 birthday celebration had sparked widespread speculation, with many questioning whether he had been sidelined.

However, Shatta Wale’s manager, Sammy Baah Flex, has now cleared the air on the reasons behind the Dancehall king’s no-show.

According to Sammy Baah Flex, Shatta Wale was officially invited by the event organizers, but his decision to miss the event was based on personal values.

He emphasized that for the Shatta Movement, their worth is not determined by mere appearances at social gatherings, but rather by events that align with their principles and priorities.

Addressing reports suggesting that Richard Nii Armah Quaye had to choose between Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy, the manager denied these claims, stating that there had never been any restriction preventing both artistes from sharing the same stage.

He also dismissed speculation that Osei Kwame Despite’s presence at the party influenced Shatta Wale’s decision, questioning whether Despite had any special privilege as he was not the host.

Sammy Flex also pointed out the strong bond between Shatta Wale and Richard Quaye, noting that the businessman has always expressed appreciation for Shatta’s music.

Quaye himself had earlier named one of Shatta Wale’s songs as one of his favorites, further dispelling rumors of any bad blood between them.

In conclusion, the manager reiterated that Shatta Wale’s absence from the event was not due to any rivalry, conflicts, or external pressures but was simply a matter of personal choice.
