Bullgod, the artist manager, has questioned critics to be patient with Ghanaian artists now that Nigerian singer Wizkid has demonstrated that he cannot fill the Accra Sports Stadium.
He stated that the usual shaming of Ghanaian artists for being unable to organize purchased international concerts at high-profile venues such as the 02 Arena, Madison Square Garden, and so on must cease.
This is because Afrobeats superstar Wizkid, who has conquered all of these venues, particularly the 20,000-seater 02 Arena, was unable to draw the crowd required to fill the 40,000-seater Accra Sports Stadium.
Bullgod’s remarks follow accounts that Wizkid failed to appear on stage at the Accra Sports Stadium concert, where he was billed as the headliner.
Following the news, social media was flooded with complaints from angry fans who had waited for 12 hours to see Wizkid perform.
Bullgod, however, shared his thoughts on the ongoing topic during a discussion on Hitz FM.
“Now that Wizkid has proven successfully that he cannot fill the stadium, nobody should worry our artistes about filling 02 Arena. He also wasn’t able to fill here. Make dem no come worry anybody. We dey bg. Forget the 02 Arena, Madison Square, and let them come and try the Accra Sports Stadium. Then we can have a conversation.”
He subsequently eulogized International Central Gospel Church (ICGC) founder, Rev. Mensah Otabil, for being the only one who has so far been able to fill the Accra Sports Stadium with his usual 31-watch night service dubbed “Crossover”.
“Otabil is still on our chart. The only person to do it.”
