According Shatta Wale who spoke on Pluzz FM’s AM Pluzz, event promoters have been taking artistes for granted but he will not be a victim.

He told host, Sammy Flex, that he would prefer playing in Ghana and be referred to as a ‘local champion’ than perform abroad for a small amount of money.

“Promoters shouldn’t see us as kids. If I can get paid for a hundred thousand and over in Ghana and you call me for a show in America and want to pay me $3,000, then keep it… All those artistes you see travelling here and there are not making anything. They just go for the fame of it. That’s why haven’t travelled so if anybody calls me a local champion, I love it. The local champion is richer than the international champion,” he stated.

Shatta Wale will be launching his maiden album since he rebranded from Bandana on April 30.

The event which will be held at the World Trade Fair will see the ‘Dancehall Commando’ hit-maker perform alone.

According to the artiste, the ‘After The Storm’ album launch is a free-entry event.
