Award-winning Ghanaian reggae-dancehall performer Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr., better known as Shatta Wale in the entertainment industry, was presented with a plaque by YouTube in recognition of reaching one million subscribers.
The “Gringo” hitmaker, Shatta Wale’s YouTube channel gained one million followers in January 2024, but the plaque wasn’t awarded until August of that same year.
This legendary musician, who is well-known for his compelling sounds and powerful stage appearance, has garnered a sizable following of admirers across the globe because to his upbeat songs and unique style.
Sarkodie became the first Ghanaian singer to get the coveted one million subscribers in 2023. Not many artists in Ghana have achieved that feat.
About six months later, Shatta Wale did the same, beating out Black Sherif, who was the youngest to reach the milestone.
Ghanaian singer Gyakie and Stonebwoy are two of the contenders predicted to become members of the elite group; they have 748,000 and 727,000 followers, respectively.
Sammy Flex, Shatta Wale’s manager, praised the musician on social media for the outstanding accomplishment.
The manager also expressed profound gratitude to Shatta Wale’s fan base for their support
He shared his thoughts after flaunting the plaque online.
“This is for Shatta Wale’s YouTube page for clocking one million subscribers. My man had been hiding it somewhere in his room until I went to his apartment last weekend.
Congratulations to all Shatta Movement fans globally for making this happen, and kudos to our boss Shatta Wale for always working harder than even expected. The works bring the results we always enjoy. #Safa #ShattaMusic,” he wrote.
