Legendary Ghanaian highlife musician Daniel Amponsah, popularly known as Agya Koo Nimo, has expressed his admiration for dancehall artist Shatta Wale.

In a recent interview with renowned media personality Kafui Dey, the folk music pioneer shared that he liked the SM boss despite never encountering him.

Agya Koo Nimo noted that he admired Shatta Wale for having a different personality and approach to music compared to his colleagues in the Ghanaian music industry.

He said:

"I have not met him [Shatta Wale] before, but I like him. He tried to be different. He tried to do a different thing."

The legendary highlife musician stated that he planned on inviting the controversial dancehall musician to his residence for a meeting.

Agya Koo Nimo appealed to Kafui Dey to convince Shatta Wale to visit him so he could hold his hand and express his admiration for him in person.

He said:

"I have been thinking of inviting him to come and visit me. I just want to hold his hand. I love him. Tell him he should come and see me and help me to walk."

The Palmwine Music pioneer's remarks come as a big endorsement to the dancehall artiste, whose stock has continued to rise since his musical performance at Jamaican dancehall legend Vybz Kartel's Freedom Street concert at the National Stadium in Kingston on December 31, 2024.

In recent months, Shatta Wale has also found success in his other business endeavours outside his music career.

He recently met the Chief Executive Officer of the Youth Employment Agency (YEA), Malik Basintale, and secured a partnership deal for his Shaxi ride-hailing service in an effort to create more job opportunities for the youth in Ghana.

Malik also promised to provide 150 electric vehicles for Shatta Wale's Shaxi platform.
