This year’s edition of Tidal Rave, held on November 15, 2025, at La Palm Royal Beach, had its share of incredible moments.
However, one person stole the show that no one expected: Abongo, a friend of Shatta Wale and his personal bodyguard.
Videos of the dancehall star’s bodyguard on stage showed him firmly exchanging words with the disc jockey.
At the moment, some audience members were confused about what was happening, but we learned that Abongo had not acted spontaneously, but in an official capacity.
According to sources who know the bodyguard, Shatta Wale does not often perform with a backer on stage, and the process needs to be followed.
Abongo has been well known in Shatta Wale’s inner circle as the loyal, serious, and disciplined man he is.
Hardly ever seen smiling, he is known for his serious demeanour, focused and disciplined attitude, and work ethic.
Abongo has been mentioned in a couple of Shatta Wale’s songs, including Star Boy and Hey Uncle.
He is always dedicated to the situation when he is around his boss.
His overall intense demeanour in the suite before performances is coordinated with Shatta Wale to ultimately make sure he performs perfectly and the best performances are executed without interferences.
Kojo Manuel , Your job is to introduce an artist and leave stage not to perform with him. Get that clear, it’s not about who he be. We always tryna twist narratives.
Shatta Wale’s PA(Abongo) say go back just go back that be all.. you’re not the one who booked Wale. Everybody… pic.twitter.com/NQe7up77dL
