No cause for alarm – Obour reacts to Shatta Wale’s tirade
In a typical Obour style, full of calmness and
restraint in the midst of castigation – the
President of the Musicians Union of Ghana has
responded to the recent diatribe of Dancehall
artist, Shatta Wale.

“There’s no cause of alarm,” he rebuffed the
backlash to MzGee of Hitz FM ‘Entertainment
News’, as monitored by
www.entertainmentgh.com.

“

Shatta Wale and I are friends and we know how he
does his things,” he downplayed the recent
tweets of the dancehall act.

In responding to the incessant talk of he not
being competent, he repudiated such assertion;
“The musicians will be the right persons to
answer. I stood for re-election, a process where I
got over 70% of the votes.”

In the
last couple of days, Obour has come under a wave
of grave criticism from the camp of Shatta Wale,
who took to twitter to lash out at him, accusing
him of incompetence and not doing anything for
musicians.

Other musicians like Eazzy have also joined the
bandwagon of artists chiding Obour for his
stewardship thus far.

However, Obour claims his relationship with the
young generation of Ghanaian artists is still
solid.

“I am friends with the likes
of Gasmilla, Sarkodie and many others,” he
stated.
