Shatta Wale excited about the awards
The musician celebrated the momentous achievements on X, formerly Twitter, while shading his haters.
"I am very sorry, my haters, you couldn't see I was coming this way," he said.
Speaking to YEN.com.gh about whether Shatta Wale deserves the multiple honours, Ghanaian blogger Ameyaw Debrah urged people to respect it
''His fans have hailed him, and others say he doesn't deserve it. I sort of expected he'd win those awards when I saw the promo around him, coming to the UK and the organisers taking him around and highlighting him as the headlining artiste.
''He's done well, but under the year under review, as the Ghana went, one would have expected that Black Sherif would have won many awards as well. But it doesn't mean he does not deserve it. They have their metrics, and if [Shatta Wale] came up tops, either voting by public or whatever voting means, people should respect it,'' Debrah told YEN.com.gh.

Shatta has been cheated in this industry since his return in 2013.. what kind of music hasn't he produced before? Is Baafira better than everybody like thing? Which people recommend artist onto the BET award scheme? Everything proves that shatta is bigger.
