Controversial Ghanaian singer Shatta Wale has claimed that Ghanaians don’t appreciate their entertainers enough, especially when compared with Nigerians.

Speaking in a recent episode of The Honest Bunch Podcast, Shatta Wale said Ghanaians don’t value their celebrities, entertainers in Ghana earn “pennies,” which make them to struggle financially despite fame.

He recalled struggling financially, ordering taxis to show and being accommodated by his girlfriend at her parents’ home despite been already famous in Ghana.

He said, “Nigerians appreciate success, Ghana doesn’t appreciate success. As a star, I was sleeping on the street as big as I am. At one point, my girlfriend who was living with her parents’ was the one accommodating me.

“Even as a big Ghanaian artist, back then, I take taxis to shows. Not just me, a lot of Ghanaian artists do that. Ghanaian artists earn pennies, while their Nigerian counterparts earn big.”

Shatta Wale urged his Ghanaian colleagues to learn from their Nigerian counterparts and set high standards in their industry.
