Multiple award-winning dancehall artiste, Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jnr known by his stage name as Shatta Wale has descended heavily on GHAMBRO i.e. Ghana Music Rights Organization.
Taking to his Twitter handle to address whole lots of issues about the Ghanaian entertainment industry, Shatta Wale questioned whether there are copyright laws here in Ghana. He also talked about the fact that he’s not receiving royalties for his works.
The ‘If I collect’ hitmaker went on to disclose why he’s always in the news for the bad reasons. He disclosed that when he does something worthwhile talking about, people won’t talk about them so he would rather give bad news for him to make his money.
He also talked politics where he talked about the fact that he didn’t even know that politicians would even love his songs and to the extent of even using his songs for their election campaigns.
