Shatta Wale is an intelligent artiste and a smart business man and we saying this on authority. His consistency in the industry has been largely influenced by the way he studies the music terrain. Put aside his negative image and you’ll understand our assertion is not a hyperbole.
When One Corner became viral and Patapaa took center stage, even mainstream artistes were secretly jealous-but not Shatta Wale. Instead, he quickly went to the studios to record Freedom which became a massive hit, obviously to rival One Corner.
He admitted this in an interview with Jerry Justice on Adom FM. Here’s what he said:
Let me confess today. Patapaa worried me a lot so he made me record the freedom song. I wanted to give the song to him but I changed my plan later. I’m saying this and God knows that I am not lying. That is how smart I am.
Patapaa’s One corner got me asking why God didn’t bring the hit song to Accra but took it to Swedru. Tell Patapaa I love him so much but he nearly killed my career.
