Beg Shatta Wale To Return To TGMAs Else It Will FLOP; TGMA Is Getting WACK Without Him – Long Jon
The controversy surrounding Shatta Wale’s absence from the 2025 TGMAs (The Ghana Music Awards) continues to fuel heated discussions in the Ghanaian entertainment industry.
Long Jon, a prominent figure in the local music scene, has now come forward with a bold plea to the dancehall king, urging him to return to the prestigious event for the sake of its relevance.
In a statement that has caught the attention of fans and industry insiders alike, Long Jon stated, “Beg Shatta Wale to return to TGMAs, or else it will flop; the TGMA is getting wack without him.”
Long Jon, who has been a vocal supporter of Shatta Wale throughout his career, made it clear that the absence of the controversial artist at the TGMAs has significantly impacted the event’s energy and viewership.
Shatta Wale, known for his larger-than-life personality, is one of the most influential and marketable artists in Ghana.
His presence at any event, particularly the TGMAs, is often seen as a guarantee for high ratings, excitement, and buzz.
His exclusion, according to Long Jon, has led to a noticeable decline in the overall appeal of the award show, leaving fans and industry professionals disappointed.
In recent years, Shatta Wale has become synonymous with the TGMAs. His iconic performances, electrifying stage presence, and his status as a major winner at the event have turned him into a central figure in the awards’ narrative.
Fans eagerly anticipate his performances, and his feuds with other artists, often play out in dramatic ways at the TGMAs, which further intensifies public interest.
However, his absence in 2025, following an ongoing disagreement with event organizers, has left many wondering if the show is losing its sparkle.
Long Jon’s comments, though direct, are rooted in a belief that Shatta Wale’s absence has created a void in the awards that cannot be filled by other artists, no matter how talented. “Without Shatta Wale, the TGMAs feel lifeless,” Long Jon explained.
“The excitement, the drama, the conversations—it all revolves around Shatta Wale. He brings a certain fire that no one else does.”
His statement echoes the sentiments of many fans who have expressed disappointment over the 2025 ceremony, which seemed to lack the usual buzz and anticipation that usually comes with Shatta Wale’s involvement.
The feud between Shatta Wale and the TGMAs organizers is well-documented.
Over the years, the dancehall star has voiced his frustrations with the way the event is run, citing issues such as bias, unfair treatment, and the lack of proper recognition for his contributions to Ghanaian music.
His outspoken nature has made him both loved and hated in the industry, but it’s undeniable that his presence at the TGMAs has always been a major talking point.
However, despite the ongoing tension, Long Jon and others believe that the awards show needs Shatta Wale’s energy and influence if it is to continue being the top music event in the country.
“The TGMAs are becoming irrelevant without him,” Long Jon remarked, adding that the show risks losing its cultural significance.
“Ghanaian music is moving forward, and TGMAs needs to reflect that by embracing the artists who are pushing the boundaries. Shatta Wale is a part of that movement, and his involvement in the awards is crucial.”
This bold statement from Long Jon is likely to fuel further debate about the role of Shatta Wale in the Ghanaian music scene and his impact on the entertainment industry as a whole.
There is a general consensus among industry insiders that Shatta Wale’s presence adds a unique dynamic to any event.
Whether it’s through his live performances, the hype surrounding his nominations, or his interactions with fellow artists, the TGMAs without Shatta Wale have felt notably lackluster.
In the same breath, Long Jon also acknowledged that the TGMAs has produced some outstanding performances and recognized talented artists, but he insisted that without Shatta Wale, the show was not truly complete.
“There are other stars, of course, but the TGMAs need that one artist who can stir the pot, create drama, and make people talk,” Long Jon continued. “And that artist is Shatta Wale.”
Fans of Shatta Wale, who have long supported his bold and often controversial persona, have also expressed similar feelings about the TGMAs’ current state.
For many, the excitement and drama of the awards season are intertwined with Shatta Wale’s involvement, and his absence has left a void that has yet to be filled by other performers.
The TGMAs, while still significant, no longer carry the same level of anticipation and intrigue that they once did with Shatta Wale leading the charge.
The conversation surrounding Shatta Wale and the TGMAs is not just about one artist’s involvement in an awards show—it’s also about the changing landscape of Ghanaian music and the need for the event to adapt to the evolving dynamics of the industry.
Shatta Wale is no longer just a musician; he is a brand, a cultural icon who has helped shape modern Ghanaian music, and it is clear that many believe his return to the TGMAs would elevate the event to the level it once held.
As the next TGMA draws closer, the question remains: will Shatta Wale return to the awards, and will his involvement reignite the spark that many feel has been lost?
Long Jon’s plea for the return of the dancehall king is more than just a call for drama—it’s a call for the revival of the energy, excitement, and relevance that Shatta Wale has brought to the TGMAs for years.
Whether the organizers will heed this call or continue without him is a story that fans will eagerly follow in the months leading up to the event.
For now, one thing is clear: the TGMAs will always be incomplete without the iconic presence of Shatta Wale.
