Efia Odo replies Shatta Wale, Sparks Conversation with a Bold Tweet! Are Content Creators Not Celebrities?

In a social media exchange that's stirring discussion in Ghana’s entertainment scene, actress and influencer Efia Odo posed a pointed question that has many rethinking the modern definition of "celebrity." The back-and-forth began after Shatta Wale, a prominent Ghanaian musician and entrepreneur, announced on Twitter:

"Every known celebrity in Ghana who takes Shaxi for the experience will be exempt from payment, as Shaxi will cover the cost and compensate its drivers."

This tweet was meant to promote his ride-hailing service, Shaxi, by offering complimentary rides to celebrities as a marketing strategy. However, it didn’t sit well with everyone—especially not Efia Odo, who quickly responded:

"Only celebrities what about influencers and content creators?"

This one-liner sparked a much larger conversation: Are content creators not considered celebrities in Ghana? Or even globally?

The Changing Face of Fame

In today’s digital-first world, the lines between celebrity, influencer, and content creator have become increasingly blurred. Traditional celebrities—like actors and musicians—often share the limelight with Instagram stars, YouTubers, and TikTok personalities who command massive audiences and influence.

Efia Odo’s tweet appears to challenge the notion that fame must come from conventional platforms like film, TV, or music. By asking “what about influencers and content creators?”, she's not just questioning exclusion—she’s advocating for a new definition of celebrity.

Valid Concern or Misinterpretation?

Some might argue that Efia Odo is implying influencers are not being recognized as celebrities—perhaps calling out a cultural lag in perception. Others may interpret her tweet as sarcastic or rhetorical, pointing out that content creators deserve equal status and perks.

Either way, her comment raises a valid point: influence today isn't just about stage performances and red carpet appearances. It’s also about who commands digital attention, creates viral content, and drives cultural trends.

Should Shaxi Expand Its Offer?

If Shatta Wale’s goal is to generate buzz for Shaxi, including influencers and content creators could actually be a smart move. These individuals often have highly engaged, niche audiences—and their support can be just as impactful as traditional celebrity endorsements.


Final Thoughts

Efia Odo’s tweet may have been short, but it packed a punch. In questioning the parameters of celebrity status, she’s indirectly advocating for the inclusion of a new wave of digital stars who are just as relevant in shaping today’s culture. As social media continues to redefine influence, it’s time for businesses, brands, and even celebrities themselves to rethink who really holds the spotlight.
