Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has stirred reactions after boldly speaking about his performance fees and why he does not actively chase international shows.
According to him, he earns as much as $1 million per show in Ghana, insisting that the level of respect he receives at home matches that of global superstars.
In his words, he said:
“I get paid up to $1 million per show in Ghana. The respect I get there is the same respect they give to Jay-Z and Beyoncé, that’s why I don’t chase international shows. If you offer me $300,000, I’ll tell you to keep the money & come back when you have big budget.”
The singer further explained that he values respect and recognition more than simply travelling for foreign performances. He added that lower offers from international promoters do not appeal to him, as he prefers deals that match his perceived worth.
His comments have sparked mixed reactions online, with some fans praising his confidence and others debating the accuracy of his claims and comparisons.
