Ghanaian comedian, Amankwah Trump, has shared his frustrations about Peller’s recent trip to Ghana sponsored by Shatta Wale from April 10 to 13.
According to the actor, the premium treatment Peller received from Shatta Wale and his team has never been extended to any Ghanaian.
In a video, the actor appeared peeved that Shatta Wale had not amplified anyone from Ghana like the way he has done Peller.
“He treated the kid like a president. No Ghanaian will ever merit that level of treatment from him till well all die.”

While he praised the dancehall artist for his gesture toward the child, he raised a concern about the reception Ghanaian artists and creatives receive when they attempt to leverage the Nigerian market.
“The Nigerians don’t see us. They take us for granted. Shatta Wale could be playing a show, and they’ll just be watching him. Even Sarkodie, who is the best rapper in Africa, experienced the same.”

Amankwah argued that Nigerians may know an artist from Ghana and still refuse to accord him the necessary support.
When Peller landed at the Kotoka International Airport in Accra for the first time, he was chauffeured in a luxurious convoy facilitated by the SM Boss’s Shaxi ride-hailing service.
Amankwah’s rants, which popped up online on April 16, have already registered over 250k hits on TikTok alone.
Amankwah’s rants about Peller stirred reactions online.
“What Amankwa is saying is the truth but people will basically insult because he’s saying the truth
kensmith781.”
“A lot of Ghanaians have talent more than this boy but who is promoting them or making them popular, if the Nigerians are like us do you think this boy would have gotten here?”

“From A-Z, he’s not making any sense in any ways. Shatta is actually teaching NIGERIANS something they should have done to us a very long time if they claim to be the giants of AFRICA. Think my people.”

“This one is not about Ghana artist because we are all in Ghana how can Shatta Wale invite you to his house? The reason is he can’t because we all in Ghana
Jamso whatever SM did was the right way.”
“See if we no start dey lash this kiddies errh them no go stop dey disrespect!!! Ahhh like Amankwah is talking to Shatta like this eii ewurade
Y S M.”
Showboy Lauds Shatta Wale
Ghanaian musician and socialite Samuel Safo, better known by his stage name Showboy, urged entertainment stakeholders to look beyond the ongoing feud between dancehall artists Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy and instead focus on Shatta Wale’s impact on the industry.
In a TikTok video, Showboy showed his respect for Shatta, saying the controversial singer has been essential to his development as a person and his path as an independent musician.
“Ghetto youth will come to regret not embracing Shatta Wale’s benefits and ceasing to despise him. Put Shatta Wale’s actions first and disregard the feud between him and Stonebwoy. He’s done well because he’s inspired many young people.”

Showboy went on to commend Shatta for elevating Ghana’s music business and gaining it respect. “The Ghanaian music scene has gained culture and worth thanks to Shatta Wale, and Nigerians and others are taking notice of our entertainment business because of him,” he said.
Additionally, he disclosed that Shatta Wale has a personal source of inspiration.
“I salute you, Shatta Wale, because you have done well. If I look at the cars I currently have, I know I have to work hard to achieve the kind of cars you have. Shatta Wale has motivated an independent artist like me. He has also brought price into the Ghana music industry.”
