  • ‘I Believe Awards Come Naturally But For Now I Am Focusing On Making Money’-Shatta Wale

    Charles Nii Armah, popularly called Shatta Wale has added another twist to the ongoing BET nomination snub brouhaha.

    In interview granted to the media, the Kakai hitmaker explained that he is not really obsessed with awards hence does not feel bothered when his hard work is overlooked. He said what remains paramount to him is the pursuit of money to care of his needs and that of his family.

    “One thing I want people to know is that we are not really bothered about awards. We are focusing on how the business will grow. I believe awards come naturally. I have been in my bedroom and people will call me that I have won awards in Germany.
    When awards come and I am not included, I am not bothered. There are people who are focused on prestige, prestige is good but I am focusing on making the money. I love prestige too but until it comes, I am focusing on making money,” he said.

    He noted that growing up, he did not dream of winning awards but rather drive in flashy cars, build mansions and make his family enjoy the quality of life the rich in society is enjoying and that is what his focus is in the industry.

    The two presidential candidates have both been using hit songs of Shatta Wale – ‘Mahama Paper’ and ‘Kakai’ – respectively at their campaign rallies.

    The dancehall artiste has stayed away from endorsing any of the presidential candidates ahead of the December polls.

  • ‘Mahama paper’ song triggered by missing speech saga – Shatta Wale

    Self-acclaimed dancehall king Shatta Wale has told the BBC that his popular ‘Mahama paper’ song was triggered by President John Mahama’s missing speech incident during his address to ECOWAS heads of state in Accra.

    According to the controversial artiste, the song was not intended to flatter the president as has been interpreted by a section of society.

    Ghana’s President and immediate past ECOWAS Chairman, John Mahama shocked the gathering of heads of West African states and governments at an ECOWAS summit when he suddenly stopped in the middle of his speech and announced that some pages of his address were missing.

    “Where is my speech…I am missing certain pages in my speech…,” he said, at first to himself, and then to the audience. As Ghana’s President searched for his missing speech, the audience including diplomats from the ECOWAS sub-region and beyond offered a thunderous applause.

    Explaining the rationale behind the song for the first time, the ‘Kakai’ hitmaker said he was watching television the day the president got himself in the fix.

    “I didn’t do that song for a political purpose, I wrote it out of love. I didn’t do it because of my President. One day I was watching TV and the president was speaking at the Conference Center and he was like ‘where is my page 13, I can’t find it,’ and I was like Mahama too why, where is his speech,” the ‘Chop kiss’ singer told Akwasi Sarpong.

    Shatta, as he is also known, added that he is surprised the song has become such a hit.
