Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, is not giving up on his fight to get the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) to lift the ban, restricting celebrities from advertising for alcoholic brands.
In a video he posted on his Facebook page to vent his spleen, the ‘Borjor’ hitmaker indicated that some of his colleagues are yet to grasp the full implication of the ban placed on them by the FDA and that is why they are not joining him to aggressively fight the regulatory authority.
He said: “Some of us don’t have [a] problem. I will only say this because I want to educate most of the artistes. Most of the people don’t see it this way. Some think it’s about women and showing off.”
“Why don’t we come together and demonstrate. We are always talking about ‘supporting your own’ but if we charge and march to their [FDA] office in unity then from there we move to the Flagstaff House asking the government to lift the ban,” he said in the video.
“Adonko wants to sign Ghanaian artistes too… We should let the government know how we need this business to happen. Some of you don’t know how lucrative ambassadorial deals are. People are paying attention to other things than what matters and it’s bad,” Shatta concluded.
Other celebrities like Wendy Shay, Afia Schwarzenegger, Edem, Tic amongst others have all added their voices to join in the fight to get the FDA to lift the ban.
