A massive crowd turned Accra’s Black Star Square into a sea of excitement on Saturday, October 18, 2025, as Shatta Wale staged his grand birthday celebration concert, “Shatta Fest 2025 x Shattabration: The King Calls.”
Though the show was announced to start at 4 p.m., eager fans began trooping in hours earlier. The venue and nearby streets were completely packed, with supporters dressed mostly in white to honour the Dancehall King’s big day.
Wale celebrated his 40th birthday on October 17, 2025. He explained that the concert was organized to thank his loyal fans for their years of unwavering support.
The star-studded event had performances from Sarkodie, Samini, Wendy Shay, Medikal, Kelvynboy, Amerado, DarkoVibes, Tinny, JZyNo, Kwame Yogot, DopeNation, and others.
A touching moment came when Shatta Wale presented rapper Tinny with a citation and tribute, recognising his support during Wale’s early music journey. The Dancehall star also took on the role of peacemaker, bringing Nigerian influencers Peller and Big Jiggy on stage to reconcile in front of the cheering crowd.
The high-energy celebration stretched into the early hours of Sunday, wrapping up at about 7:05 a.m., marking another milestone in Shatta Wale’s reign as one of Africa’s most electrifying performers.
