Ghanaians push for Shatta Wale to be honoured by the state for working with Beyoncé

Many Ghanaians and fans of Shatta Wale are calling on the state to handsomely and publicly reward him for getting featured by Beyoncé on the ‘Black Is King’ album.

The demands of these Ghanaians and die-hard fans are premised on the fact that the celebrated Reggae/Dancehall artiste has worked hard to get Ghana represented on a bigger platform.

According to the conviction of many, for Shatta Wale to get featured on a whole album by Queen Beyoncé gives credence to the fact that he has worked hard and deserves to be adorned with great acknowledge from the state.

In several tweets, many believe Shatta Wale has opened the gate for the world to refocus their attention on what Ghanaian musicians and entertainers are doing differently that needs more attention and support.

Although the feat chalked by the ‘Melissa’ hitmaker has been well acknowledged by all Ghanaians with additional appreciation coming in from people in authority and celebrities, his fans and a large section of the populace believe he needs a state reward.

The hashtag #StateReward4Shatta is being used to send the message across to people in authority especially President Akufo-Addo to do the needful by honouring Shatta Wale for a good job done.
