Shayya Wale's savings at 14
In an exclusive interview with Efia Odo, Gisela Amponsah and Ama Burland on the Rants, Bants and Confessions podcast, he opened up about how he could save that much money at a young age.
Shatta Wale noted that he walked into Prudential Bank to open an account and deposit his saved money.
He said he was 14 years old then; however, the bank had to give him the go-ahead to open the account by lying that he was 18.
"I grew up as a rich kid. So to see dollars, pounds, all those currencies, I was having it. At age 14, I had saved GH¢750,000 because when my dad gave me chop money, he did not give me GH¢20. Sometimes he gave me $500. Sometimes he would even give me GH¢2000, sometimes GH¢3000."
The self-acclaimed dancehall king said that while growing up, he had a safe where he kept his pocket money. He said that his dad did not want him to buy any clothes, shoes, watches, jewellery or even television games.
Shatta Wale said that his father bought everything he ever wanted, allowing him to save up the pocket money his father gave him.
