Controversial Ghanaian singer Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr. better known as Shatta Wale has stated that fast-rising Nigerian singer Asake is bigger than any artiste in Ghana currently.

He made this revelation on Wednesday, August 23, while participating in a Twitter space moderated by Ghanaian media personality Serwaa Amihere.

Shatta Wale 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.”

Recall that Shatta Wale recently praised Asake for filling the 20,000-seat O2 Arena in London, United Kingdom, saying that Asake's accomplishments pale in comparison to those of his Ghanaian contemporaries.
