Afrobeats musician
According to Victor, Shatta Wale has garnered huge influence and widely known in Nigeria, thus, organising his own concert is possible.
The “Wetin We Gain” hitmaker told Pulse.com.gh during an exclusive interview on Wednesday, August 22, that Shatta Wale’s influence on the Nigerian market shouldn’t be disputed.
He said the assertions made by some fans regarding the Zylofon Music signee’s unpopular figure in Nigeria is untrue.
“Most Nigerians love Shatta Wale,” he revealed.
When asked quizzed about the assertions that Shatta Wale’s sounds are not making waves in Nigeria, he quickly responded: “Don’t say that.”
He argued that: “How did I know about him? I knew Shatta Wale before stepping in Ghana. His hit song “Ayoo” blew up in Ghana.”
He concluded that if Ghanaians can turn up for him, then Shatta Wale can easily hold his concert in Nigeria.
“If Ghanaians can turn up for me, how about Shatta Wale,” he said.
