The concert, held on the night of November 22, 2025, at the Accra International Conference Centre, drew thousands of fans eager for performances by Ghanaian Afropop sensation Wendy Shay and surprise guest Shatta Wale.
Known for his high-octane shows and spontaneous generosity, Wale’s arrival midway through the event ignited pandemonium when he began tossing GH¢5 notes into the audience.
