”Nigerians are too smart to do business” – Shatta Wale

Ghanaian rapper and dancehall star, Shatta Wale has stirred reactions with his recent comment about Nigerian musicians.

The artiste said that Nigerians are too smart when it comes to doing business and it reflects in the music industry.

According to Shatta, they prefer taking the music business more seriously than to fight or get into beefs which is what happens in Ghana.

Speaking in a recent interview, the controversial singer said Nigerian singers hardly compete over superiority and they do not sing about feuds, rather, their songs dwell on love, enjoyment and other niceties.

He stressed that Nigerians do music whereas Ghanaian artistes compete with music. He also talked about how entertainers in his country refer to themselves as King, and he used the opportunity to throw a jab at his colleague, Stonebwoy who calls himself 1Gad.

Meanwhile, few weeks ago, he set aside his beef with Nigerian Afrobeats superstar, Burna Boy, to acknowledge the African Giant’s success.

He took to his official Snapchat account to hail Burna Boy despite the fact that they are no in longer in talking terms.

The Grammy-winning Nigerian act has had a successful year, from shutting down show to releasing an album with all songs topping music charts.

Shatta sent a shoutout to Odogwu and said he is happy for the ‘Dangote’ crooner even amidst their beef.

”Laad Gad my friend who was to be and no more my friend is killing the world – Even tho we don’t talk, am so happy to see him succeed!!? Shouts to Burna you burning it…. Love”, he wrote.

Their rift started in December 2021, when Shatta Wale threw a shade at Nigerian artistes after selling out the Accra Sports Stadium for his concert.
