Ghanaian dance hall star artist, Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., popularly known as Shatta Wale, has called on his compatriots to respect Nigerians because they understood music talent.

Shatta Wale stated this in a post on his verified Twitter handle on Sunday, which was followed by a series of tweets.

The rapper had recently engaged in a war of words with Nigerian music fans and artistes, with the most recent one involving Grammy award winning singer, Burna Boy.

In his tweets, Shatta Wale said Nigerians should be respected for the hard work they put into their music, adding that they understood talent.

He also slammed Ghanaians for comparing themselves to Nigerians, stating that the lifestyle of both countries are different.

“Please can we just respect Nigerians for their hard work and stop comparing our lazy lifestyle to theirs.

“It’s shame people think Nigerians will come hard at me but see they are the ones doing the streaming because they understand what talent means. Ghana music is a shame,” he wrote.

After his statement, Shatta Wale asked Nigerian fans not to interfere in his clash with his compatriots saying that he would face Nigerians if he had any beef with them.

“So man can’t talk to some foolish Ghana fans in peace?

“Nigeria pls ano come for una I beg (sic), I am talking to Ghana foolish fans association, I will come to you when I have beef over there please,” he said.
