The story of the brand Shatta Wale is one that is worth studying by students of popular culture.<\/p>\n
He has transformed from being one of Ghana\u2019s hiplife artistes, Bandana, to becoming one of the country\u2019s hottest entertainers who is liked by people across various levels of the Ghanaian society and beyond.<\/p>\n
Shatta Wale\u2019s ingenuity in rebranding himself speaks volumes about his intelligence and hardwork.<\/p>\n
He currently has 35,144 likes on his verified Facebook page and 217,116 on his Twitter handle. This is an indication of his influence in the country, the continent and beyond. He has also swept up awards since he returned.<\/p>\n
He has developed from the Shatta Wale who had a beef with everyone, and was even ready to sell his awards to that guy who ended his long conflict with Samini, and made a peace song for Ghana’s largest political parties, the NPP and the NDC, ahead of the just ended parliamentary and presidential elections.<\/p>\n
Shatta Wale will be headlining the 2016 edition of Citi FM’s biggest concert, Decemba 2 Rememba (D2R).<\/p>\n
Here is a list of some his popular songs compiled with help from Citi FM\u2019s Nana Ama Agyeman Asante, a die-hard Shatta Wale fan. If he decides to run for president, I am sure she will ask to be given the role of his campaign manager.<\/p>\n
‘Dancehall king’<\/strong><\/p>\n This was the first song he released when he changed his name from a low-profile Bandana to Shatta Wale. The song was perfect for the rebirth. It really sold him and pushed him to the pinnacle.<\/p>\n\n
