Award-winning Ghanaian singer-songwriter Kuami Eugene has stirred conversation in the entertainment space after making a surprising comment about how dancehall heavyweight Shatta Wale creates his music.
Speaking in a recent interview, Kuami Eugene suggested that Shatta Wale’s songwriting and recording approach is so unconventional that it almost feels like he doesn’t use traditional writing methods at all.
“I’m not sure he has a pen,” he remarked, in a statement that quickly caught fire on social media and among fans of Ghana’s vibrant music scene.
The comment was widely interpreted as Kuami Eugene highlighting Shatta Wale’s spontaneous and freestyle-driven creative process, where songs often emerge from raw studio sessions rather than structured writing on paper.
Shatta Wale, known for his unpredictable studio energy and fast-paced output, has long been regarded as one of Ghana’s most prolific hitmakers, often releasing tracks in rapid succession and adapting quickly to trends in the dancehall and Afrobeats space.
Kuami Eugene’s observation has since fueled debate online, with fans split between admiration for Shatta Wale’s instinctive creativity and curiosity about how structured songwriting compares to his approach.
While some listeners saw the remark as playful praise of Shatta Wale’s natural talent, others interpreted it as a subtle critique of his method. Either way, it has reignited discussion about artistry, discipline, and creative process in Ghana’s modern music industry.
Neither artist has issued a formal response yet, but the comment continues to trend across entertainment platforms, keeping both stars firmly in the spotlight.
