Ghanaian dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has expressed immense pride and joy after being endorsed by Jamaican music legend Vybz Kartel, who referred to him as the “King of Dancehall.”
It has been beautiful, and it’s like a dream come true for Shatta Movement fans because everyone knew me from day one. For me to reach the level of Vybz Kartel and perform with him is such a good feeling
For Vybz Kartel to endorse somebody like Shatta Wale is like winning a Grammy because he is a global icon; everyone loves him, and he is one of the greatest
Addressing song choices
My team checked the streaming algorithms, and because we were in Jamaica, people were tuning into songs like ‘On God’ and the one I did with Vybz Kartel. That’s why I performed those tracks to open up the market
I know some people were wondering why I didn’t perform ‘Dancehall King,’ but that song is for Ghanaians only.
