Shatta Wale

Who is Shatta Wale? 

Shatta Wale was born on October 17, 1984, in Accra, Ghana, to Charles Mensah and Ms. Elsie. Charles Nii Armah Mensah was his baptismal name. Shatta Wale’s parents, like all parents, had a vision for their son’s future, and this vision led to the right, a route that definitely never materialized.

Early Life of Shatta Wale

Shatta Wale has been creating and recording songs since he was in high school. He was not to give up like many other artists because his parents valued education, but he did eventually become a full-time musician. Yoggy-Doggy, a prominent Ghanaian reggae musician, influenced him greatly, and he began his career under the stage name Doggy.

Wale earned a new deal with a recording studio after a lot of hard work and perseverance, and subsequently formed Bandana, which recorded the hit “Bandana from Ghana” in 2004. He explained that he chose the moniker Bandana because he prefers to dress in bandanas.

After a long hiatus, he returned in 2013 as Shatta Wale. The musician said in an interview that he changed his name to Shatta Wale after speaking with God. Shatta means “gangster” in Jamaican slang, while WALE stands for “World Alerted Lyrical Entertainer.” He claimed to be in Jamaica to learn the type of music he currently considers to control – Dancehall – during the silence that preceded the scene’s moniker.

Record Breaker

Shatta Wale set a new world record when he became the first musician to perform 118 songs in a single night. Nima hosted the capital performance on July 23. Even in the pouring rain, Shatta Wale and his adoring followers were able to take control of the night.

Controversy

Following the 2013 Vodafone Ghana Music Awards, Wale’s proclivity for controversy became apparent (VGMA). What was it about this particular moment that made it so special? The singer and dancehall producer claimed he was a valid contender for the VGMA’s Dance Hall Artist of the Year award, accusing him of awarding it to a female artist named “Kaakie” who was unfit for the genre.

His comments gained traction after he released a song called “Me Need No Awards,” in which he mocked the VGMA for its alleged levity. After all, it was after this incident that he declared himself King of Ghana, Dance Hall, with a new title of “Dancehall King,” a move that catapulted him into the spotlight.

Since then, the musician has ridden the wave, igniting debate and voicing his views.
