Kwaku Manu is a Ghanaian comic actor
Ghanaian actor Kwaku Manu has challenged dancehall star Shatta Wale to stage a major concert in Kumasi before the end of 2025.
His call follows the success of Sarkodie’s Rapperholic Homecoming concert, held at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on September 27, 2025.
The show marked the first time in more than a decade that Sarkodie moved his flagship event from Accra to Kumasi. Fans in the Ashanti Regional capital turned out in huge numbers, proving the city’s capacity to host major entertainment events.

Kwaku Manu, reacting to the success of the show, dismissed the notion that Kumasi is not a viable location for mega concerts compared to Accra.
In a video circulating online, he urged Shatta Wale to follow Sarkodie’s lead.
“Sark tried it and it worked. When you do the same, it will also work. It has already worked. Kumasi has proven that when you guys come, the fans will come too. I’ll entreat Shatta Wale to host a concert in Kumasi this Christmas,” he said.
The actor also encouraged other top musicians, including Stonebwoy, to consider Kumasi when planning their shows.
Kwaku Manu further applauded Sarkodie for the way he handled the Kumasi edition of Rapperholic.
He praised the rapper for inviting Hiplife legend Obrafour to the stage and honouring him before the crowd, while also commending him for acknowledging comedian Dr Likee, popularly known as Akabenezer
