According to Shatta Wale, artistes should not just sit back and wait for the pandemic to come to an end before they can start making music again. He emphasized the need for musicians to be creative and find ways to continue making music even in challenging times.

Even though Shatta Wale himself recently went to Miami, it was all business as he held a meeting with some business associates and shot three music videos and recorded five songs for his upcoming 'GOG' album. He further shared his concerns on the lack of creativity and uniqueness in the Ghanaian music industry.

He said, “About a month ago, I took a break off social media as part of management’s decision to enable me to focus on work-related to my next album, The GOG. And so, the break was purely on professional grounds as decided by management. But today, I am happy to announce that Shatta Wale is back online. You can catch me and stay updated on all my social media platforms.”
