Photos: Nana Appiah Mensah Unites Stonebwoy, Shatta Wale At Akwasidae Festival

By
The long feud between dancehall kings, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy has been buried at the Akwasidae Festival held at the Manhyia Palace in Kumasi. A photo of the two standing side-by-side the Chief Executive Officer of entertainment conglomerate, Zylofon Media, Nana Appiah Mensah has gone viral. Reports indicate that the two were part of a powerful delegation from Zylofon Media which joined the Asantehene and his people to celebrate the Akwasidae, a festival observed by the Asanteman. The photos which were posted on the Instagram handle, stonebwoynews came with the caption, “Unity is major key”. The Zylofon Media signed artistes were all there to experience the Akwasidae festival aimed to celebrate by the Ashanti People and chiefs in Ashanti as well as the Ashanti diaspora. The festival is celebrated on a Sunday, once every six weeks. The Adae Festival has two celebration days: the Akwasidae Festival is celebrated on the final Sunday of the period, while the Awukudae Festival is celebrated on a Wednesday within the period. The Friday preceding 10 days to the Akwasidae is called the Fofie (meaning a ritual Friday). As the festival is always held on Sundays (Twi in Kwasidae), its recurrence could be after 40 or 42 days in accordance with the official Calendar of Ashanti.
