Big Jiggy Cuts Ties with Shatta Wale Amid Alleged Disrespect

The music industry watches closely as popular music promoter Big Jiggy cuts ties with Shatta Wale. The promoter said he flew in from Nigeria for one of Shatta’s shows, only to be introduced on stage as a “fan” instead of a respected music promoter. He claims the insult was the final straw after no food, no bill cover, and a feeling of total disregard.

Expectedly, the social media lit up with screenshots of Big Jiggy unfollowing and blocking Shatta Wale on all platforms. Observers say the fallout reveals larger issues around professional courtesy and recognition in Ghana’s big-ticket concerts. Fans and insiders alike weighed in on the drama.

Moreover, Big Jiggy publicly lamented the treatment he received at the show. He said Shatta introduced another personality, Peller, as a “streamer” while calling him a “fan.” That perceived disrespect compounded the hurt from leaving Nigeria for the event. Their fallout, therefore, seems rooted not just in omission but in public mislabelling.

Furthermore, some supporters of Shatta Wale pointed out that handling large crowds, nearly a million strong, by some estimates, is a chaotic business. They argued that misconnections happen and questioned if miscommunication, rather than malice, triggered the split. Yet the squabble remains very real.

In addition, industry insiders claim this incident puts promoter-artist relations under fresh scrutiny in Ghana. They suggest that artists must treat behind-the-scenes collaborators with clarity and respect on stage, with this incident serving as a cautionary tale for future event planning.

Finally, both parties face a reputational moment. Big Jiggy is taking a public stand and demands acknowledgment. Shatta Wale must navigate the narrative amid his larger brand. Only time will tell if the split heals or if this fallout defines a dropped-mic era in Ghanaian concert culture.
