Fancy Gadam (L) and Shatta Wale

I'm bigger than Sarkodie & Shatta Wale - Fancy Gadam boast
He may not be popular nationwide but Tamale based
Dancehall artiste, Fancy Gadam says he has no size
in Ghana when it comes to the three regions in
Northern Ghana.

He is bigger than any artiste in Ghana where the
three Northern regions are concerned.


“Mention all the A-list artistes
in Ghana and trust me no one comes close to my
popularity in the North.

Not even Sarkodie, Shatta Wale or Stonebwoy can
compete with me” he told Showbiz in an interview
last week.

According to him, although he is not popular in
Accra, he has been able to conquer all the three
regions in the North making him the best artiste
there.

Real name Ahmed Mujahid Bello,
Fancy Gadam who has shared the same stage with
Sarkodie, D- Black, Shatta Wale and Stonebwoy in
Tamale said there can never be a successful event
in the North without him.

“All the A-list artistes know that their shows
cannot be successful in Tamale or any other town
in the North if I am not on bill.

Some artistes tried it and their shows seriously
flopped.

Asked if he has any local
competitor in the North, this is was the answer
Fancy Gadam gave” When it comes to the North, no
one can match me. I do not even have a competitor
in West African not to talk about Ghana.


“Artistes like Davido, Wizkid,
Patoranking have all been to the North and the
cheers that greeted them did not come anywhere
near mine when I mounted the stage”, he added
confidently. 

Explaining why he is
loved so much in the North, Fancy Gadam said “ I
believe the people of Tamale love their own hence
the reason I am so huge over there.

“Also, I believe I have made myself so relevant
to the people of the North that they cannot do
without me. In fact they love me, love my music
and they love how I relate with them and I also
love them” he said.

Fancy Gadam is known for songs such as Concrete,
Naayi- Koomi, Nawuni- Yiko, Bregya, Champion Boy
and Takahi.

He and his team 5 Music have also held successful
concerts in the North some of which are Fancy in
Dagamgo, Fancy Gadam in Yendi, Fancy Gadam in
Bimbila, Fancy Gadam in Bolga, Fancy Gadam in
Navrongo, Fancy Gadam in Nyankpala among others.
