No Ghanaian artiste bigger than Asake – Shatta Wale

Shatta Wale, the Ghanaian dancehall artist known as Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., has firmly stated that currently, no Ghanaian artist holds the same level of prominence as Nigerian singer Asake.

He made this declaration while participating in a Twitter discussion hosted by Ghanaian media personality Serwaa on Wednesday.

He 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.”
