Over the years, Shatta Wale has touted himself as the wealthiest artiste in Ghana and has constantly demeaned his colleagues in the music industry like Sarkodie, Stonebwoy and many others for not being on the same level as him.

The dancehall musician has also prided himself on charging huge sums of money from promoters to perform at various high-profile music events in Ghana and on the international scene.

In an interview with Fakye TV during his media tour in Kumasi in November 2024, Shatta Wale boldly declared that the least amount of money he takes from promoters to perform at a show was a staggering $200,000, an equivalent of GH¢3,159,076.00.

The SM boss, who recently recounted his 2021 arrest while commenting on former IGP George Akuffo Dampare's dismissal from his role at the Ghana Police Service, explained that his premium rates for music events stemmed from the high costs of maintaining his lavish lifestyle, including a fleet of luxury cars worth over $1 million.
