Ghanaian dancehall singer, Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., professionally known as Shatta Wale has claimed that no Ghanaian artist can compete with the Nigerian singer, Asake.
The Ghanaian music maestro stated this in a Twitter space hosted by Ghanaian media personality, Serwaa, on Wednesday.
He maintained that no musician from his country including himself is a match to the Nigerian music star.
He added that none of his colleagues in the music industry has achieved as much as the Nigerian musician.
Shatta Wale said, “No Ghanaian artiste has even made it like Asake. Not even me.
“Nobody in this Ghanaian [music] industry has made what Asake has made. Let’s be realistic.”
The host inferred: “But you said you are the richest Ghanaian artiste and you haven’t even made it up to Asake’s level?”
Shatta Wale replied: “Why would I have to make it up to Asake’s level [before I would be the richest artiste in Ghana]? There is a Spanish artiste in Spain or Dominican Republic that is making money that we don’t know.”
