The sports minister, Kofi Adams, has revealed a piece of information about Ghanaian dancehall artist, Shatta Wale’s performance at the President’s Cup.
The sports minister revealed that Shatta Wale performed and covered all the production costs at the President’s Cup for free.
The dancehall artist, now also a businessman, while performing at the President’s Cup, at the Accra Sports Stadium on July 6, 2025, stated, “I say Mahama you be Smiling Mafia”.
President John Mahama was also captured sharing a light-hearted moment singing along to Shatta Wale’s “Mahama Paper” during the Hearts of Oak vs. Asante Kotoko President’s Cup match.
In the viral video, John Mahama was spotted in the crowd at the Accra Sports Stadium signing along with Shatta Wale as he performed his hit song “Mahama Paper”.
Shatta Wale also stated, “From now till the next election, support this government. If you are a youth and you want to see money in your pocket, then support this government because it has come to put money in your pocket”.
Some Ghanaians have expressed their opinion on the news, saying, “They should understand that Wale no dey keep secret o
Small provocation and the full amount, including the one to make him not disclose, will all be on TikTok Live”.
“My economics teacher taught me that there’s nothing free and I believed him..every free thing comes in at another cost..win win”, another Ghanaian added.
One X user added, “The problem is he insults Stonebwoy, saying he plays free shows and went ahead and does the same, but it’s a good thing building relationships is important, it’s not always about money”.
A netizen added, “This is what happens if you have a selfless leader who has his people at heart. In Burkina, citizens are doing bigger things free for their country so why can’t it happen here. The NPP see anything good in this country as a setting. To them, it’s impossible”.
