Shatta Wale criticised Ghanaians for their constant criticism of his achievements, declaring his intention to sell his property in Ghana and purchase real estate in Nigeria.
The award-winning musician mentioned wanting a Nigerian name and indicated plans to acquire a Nigerian passport.
He expressed frustration over perceptions surrounding his wealth, stating:
"Nigeria, please tell President Tinubu or your government so that I can get a Nigerian passport. This is a toilet country because they don’t appreciate successful people. I want to sell my house here and buy properties in Nigeria."
"You people should give me a Nigerian name because Ghana is a stupid country. If I buy a house, they say it is not mine, even when I buy a car, they say it is not mine. Ghana is a stupid country, and I want to relocate.”
