Ghanaian reggae-dancehall singer, Shatta Wale has said that no Ghanaian artists including himself that can be compared to Nigerian musicians like Davido, Burna Boy, and Wizkid.
Shatta Wale during an interview with Takoradi-based Empire FM, explained that fervent support from fellow Nigerian citizens is the reason for quicker rise to fame of Nigerian musicians.
He also cited situations when Davido and Burna Boy visited Ghana and formed strong connections with him, emphasizing the camaraderie and unity among Nigerian artists.
He furthermore stated that Nigerian artists now enjoy a better level of international recognition compared to their Ghanaian counterparts.
Shatta Wale criticized their entertainment industry for often portraying him in a negative light, but ascertained that he uses these opportunities to transform negativity into personal gains.

He said:
“That is why the Nigerian artistes are moving faster than us… Davido came to Ghana and drove straight to my house, Burna Boy came to Ghana and I stayed with him for one and a half years. Don’t they see that?
“This is a guy that could have taken up first before these boys go? Now see where Burna boy, Davido and Wizkid are, we can compare no single artiste including me to them, just because we don’t want the growth of our artistes.”
“Yet I consistently leverage these opportunities to transform negativity into positivity for my personal gain.”
