Artiste manager for Shatta Wale, Samuel Atuobi Baah, popularly known as Sammy Flex, has dismissed rumours circulating on social media about his artiste not being invited to the highly talked-about Richard Nii-Armah Quaye’s birthday party.
In a discussion on his podcast shared on March 25, 2025, Sammy Flex clarified that Shatta Wale was invited to the birthday party not as a performer but as a guest.
He explained that Shatta Wale’s absence was not because Richard Nii-Armah Quaye chose Stonebwoy to perform over him.
He also emphasised that the presence of businessman Osei Kwame Despite, with whom Shatta Wale has an ongoing feud, was not a factor in Shatta’s absence.
“I have seen headlines of people saying the man said because Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy cannot be at the same place, he picked the bigger one and that was Stonebwoy… There is no rule or regulation that Stonebwoy and Shatta Wale can’t be on the same stage.
“There are others also saying it was because of Despite that Shatta Wale was not called. Why was Shatta going to do anything with Despite… After all, the party was not for Despite… The party is for a different person who has a personal relationship with Shatta Wale. Also, the rumours that Shatta Wale wanted the money they gave to Davido are all lies,” he said.
Buttressing the fact that Shatta Wale received a personal invite, Sammy Flex narrated the genesis of how their invite was delivered to them, saying,
“I was in London when I got a call from a known person in the event production space. She told me she had Shatta’s invitation, so I directed her to one of the team members. When I returned, I confirmed with that team member, and he told me that the lady had contacted him about Shatta’s invitation.”
