WHO OWNS SHATTA MOVEMENT FAMILY??....SHATTA WALE?? OR VIBRANT FAYA??

It’s been over a year since new dancehall artiste,
Vibrant Faya, released his song, Mambi, which has
gained a lot of airplay but the one thing that the
artiste is yet to get over is the Shatta Movement
tag he has to his name.
Vibrant Faya had the displeasure of fans of Shatta
Wale last year, when the Shatta Movement group
made claims on various media platforms that
Shatta Wale betrayed the group when he
registered the Shatta Movement at the Copyright
Office without their consent after he left the
group.
But despite the calls by people on various social
media platforms for Vibrant Faya to give himself a
different brand and identity, it seems the Mampi
hitmaker is not ready to heed to the call.
In an interview with Showbiz last week Tuesday,
Vibrant Faya said that even though he agrees with
many who had expressed their opinion that he is
rather promoting the brand of Shatta Wale by
using Shatta Movement Family (SM), he won’t give
up that easily.
“Shatta Wale was part of the Shatta Movement
before he betrayed us.
We pushed Shatta Wale when he was nobody till he
rose to this height in his music career.
“Yes, people will disagree and not have their
support but the Shatta Movement Family stands
for truth. he may have taken the Shatta
Movement but there is nothing wrong if my group
also wants to be known as Shatta Movement Family
(SMF). We are a family and that is what
differentiates us from Shatta’s name,” he stated.
Currently, Vybrant Faya, a member of the SMF
group gained recognition for his popular song,
Mampi, but despite his success within this short
period, the aim of the SMF group, according to
Vibrant Faya, is to build his brand to rub shoulders
with Shatta Wale.
Known in real life as Emmanuel Kojo Quayson,
Vibrant Faya said he is hopeful he will win the New
Artiste and Dancehall song of the year awards at
this year’s Ghana Music Awards.
