Award-winning Ghanaian dancehall musician, Shatta Wale in a recent interview disclosed how much he made from his hit song, BANDANA FROM GHANA.
Before changing his name, the musician was known as BANDANA and he dropped a track known as BANDANA FROM GHANA.
Speaking about the money he made from the track and what he used the money for in a recent interview with Rev. Erskine on YFM, he said;
“ Bandana from Ghana, Moko Ho only got me some cash to rent a place and lay my head but to say I got money from it; never. Royalties; never. The song was really big. I was even supposed to go to other countries for my tour and stuff but I couldn’t get that.”
Speaking on why he got such a little amount of money from a song that really made waves in Ghana, he said;
“It was due to the structure of this industry that we are still trying the resolve the associated issues. I think the song really took me somewhere.
It opened doors for me. But Mark Okraku Mantey said people did not patronize my tapes. That is why I and Mark Okraku Mantey have issues up till now. That is why the whole thing looks like Shatta is disrespecting certain people in the industry. No. He [Mark] knows the history.”
