Shatta Wale launches scathing attack on team after ShattaFest UK cancellation

Shatta Wale publicly criticized members of his inner circle following the cancellation of ShattaFest 2026 in London, speaking during a TikTok Live session shared on X on Sunday, August 3. He accused his management team and associates of contributing little while relying on him for financial support, stating, "They are all fools. I am the only person managing the entire Shatta Movement, and no one gives me money. No one in my crew can say they bring in money. They are always there, and I am the one who goes out to look for money to support them."

The dancehall artiste also targeted his public relations manager, Sammy Flex, accusing him of giving excessive attention to Stonebwoy on his podcast instead of promoting the Shatta Wale brand. Shatta Wale claimed he had previously advised Sammy Flex to stop making Stonebwoy a regular topic of discussion. The outburst followed the cancellation of ShattaFest 2026 at Copthall Playing Fields in London after UK authorities reportedly shut down the event over safety concerns, leaving thousands of fans disappointed.
