Famous Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Charles Nii Armah, commonly known in the showbiz circle as Shatta Wale has ardently asserted that he doesn’t see the sense in using a huge amount of money to shoot music videos.
Shatta Wale in a Facebook Live session made this pronouncement.
“Why would I spend so much money on a music video when I can use that money for other things? I can use the money to buy building materials or do something important with them. How much at all do I make from music videos? I don’t care whatever anyone says about me not shooting expensive videos, that is my back case.”
“Sizzla Kalonji of Jamaica and other musicians are making it big out there with less expensive music video so what is the point in using all the money on a music video when I can’t make the money back,” he said.
According to Shatta Wale, most musicians are hungry but will use whatever they get to shoot expensive videos and stay hungry.
“Honestly, I was not okay with all the money spent on the Gringo video. I wished my former management Zylofon Media could have given me the money they used on Gringo for my other projects. I would advise that musicians use all the money they get on their building projects. As we speak now, I have five houses at East Legon and I am so proud,” he firmly stated.
