The dancehall star claimed to have accepted the offer because of his love for the students and ended up sharing the money during the performance.
He cited the experience as a reminder for Sarkodie and Stonebwoy to follow his path and speak about the industry's ills, which are reducing the commercial value of artistes.
Shatta Wale established that Stonwbwoy and Sarkodie, whom he described as his juniors, were broke. He advised them to speak up and stop painting a rosy picture of the industry to cover up the industry's real issues.
Shatta Wale also sent a message to media personalities like Arnold Asamoah Baidoo, Dr Poundz and Andy Dosty after accusing them of running down the industry with their remarks on air.
"It is unfair to blame others when you are also part of the system. A working system takes a unit, not just one person, and all the major players, including Shatta Wale, have failed to advocate as a unit, especially when it comes to royalty collections in this country. That is the biggest commercial value they can get as artists, not performance fees or other fees."
