I Have Promised Myself & God I am Not Going To Be Poor

�I overhead they paid artistes from Nigeria 40,000 and 45,000 dollars but when I asked for 70,000 cedis, organizers refused because I told them I don�t really need an award from them because I don�t trust them, so I was really surprised they gave me all those awards. �They refused to pay me because they wanted to take me cheap like they take other Ghanaian artistes for cheap that is why I didn�t go for the awards.� � As for me Shatta Wale, I have promised myself and God that I am not going to be poor in this music industry and I m going to make sure I bring a change because I want artiste to be respected ,So artiste who perform for free should stop because its killing the industry.� Quotes from an interview he granted HITZ FM.
