According to Shatta Wale, performing with Vybz Kartel is like taking home a Grammy.

Ghanaian dancehall performer Shatta Wale has shared his happiness and excitement about performing with Jamaican icon Vybz Kartel in Jamaica.
For Shatta, this is as much of a career accomplishment as receiving a Grammy.
Days following his appearance at Vybz Kartel’s Freedom Concert in December 2024, Shatta Wale recently spoke on Joy News, saying, “The experience has been magnificent; this is a dream come true for Shatta Movement fans.” Everyone is aware of my dancehall musical career, and it is an absolute dream to perform alongside Vybz Kartel.
When questioned about the significance of his Freedom Street performance for his career, Shatta Wale clarified
“For me, getting Vybz Kartel’s support is like winning a Grammy. My greatest accomplishment is getting Vybz’s endorsement and performing with him because he is a well-known and beloved artist on a global scale.
Alongside Jamaican dancehall legend Vybz Kartel, Shatta Wale became the sole Ghanaian performer to appear at the eagerly awaited “Freedom Street” concert.
Vybz Kartel made a victorious comeback to the stage on December 31, 2024, at the National Stadium in Kingston, Jamaica, following 14 years in prison.
A historic event in dancehall history, the star-studded roster also featured Busta Rhymes, Popcaan, Spice, and Skillibeng.
