Da Hammer comments on Shatta Wale and Wizkid Brouhaha

Iconic music producer, Hammer Of The Last Two reacts to the uproar between Ghana and Nigeria because of Shatta Wale’s comment about Wizkid, below is his assertion; 

So I just made time to peruse this controversy thoroughly from its inception and realized the starbwoy Wale said nothing in disrespect to the starbwoy wizzy to begin with. Whoever broke the story first is the one blame here.

My take on this is perspective.

Shatta said “Me I no dey see wizkid superstar oo”. Story quoted him as saying “wizkid is not a super star”. Now why wld u wanna do tht…

50cent probably doesn’t necessarily see lil Wayne as a super star cos he probably believes he’s his equal but from where I sit, I do think Wayne is a super star from my perspective. I guarantee u many of Nigerian celebrities don’t even see our Sark as a super star.

This isn’t even about supporting ur own. It’s just a classic case of not being star struck by someone’s art or hustle, and that’s no crime.

There u have it.. superstardom is not absolute.. it’s relative.

There’s no problem here.. stop inciting a rivalry between us and Nigerians. I respect the Shatta movement and their hustle. Salute # SM4lyf

Hammer shared the piece above on his facebook page in response to the ongoing social media war between Shatta Wale and the Nigerians (Wizkid’s fans) that has attracted countless arguments from both industry players and fans. “I don’t consider Nigerian superstar, Wizkid as a “superstar”. Folks should stop rating him high” the exact comment passed by Shatta Wale which has caused yet another controversy.

People’s frame of reference will certainly differ from our human perspective, but they have their own rules, preferences and developments to go by just as Hammer Of The Last Two and Shatta Wale.
