Ghanaian dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has revealed that he often prays over money before throwing it to fans during public appearances.
Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM’s Ekosii Sen show, the musician explained that although he sometimes worries about the chaos that follows, the act serves as a reminder of his humble beginnings.
According to him, the gesture is not meant to flaunt his wealth but reflects the struggles he witnessed growing up in several communities in Accra.
Shatta Wale said he worked hard for his success, taking years to build his wealth, and added that many people often do not believe his story of how he saved and struggled along the way.
He also disclosed that beyond publicly giving money, he quietly supports many people by sponsoring them to start businesses and assisting others in need.
The artiste noted that he does not always publicize such acts because he believes God sees what he does and prefers not to seek praise for his generosity.
“Sometimes I worry about the chaos that ensues when I throw money, but it reminds me of where I come from and the places I grew up in. I always pray over the money before I throw it. I worked hard for it; it took me years to build my wealth. When I tell people how I saved, some of them don’t believe me. My act of throwing money isn’t about showing off; it’s a reflection of the pain I feel every day when I drive through the streets of Accra.
“I often choose not to talk about the things I do for others. I sponsor people to start businesses and more. I know that God sees what I am doing, and I don’t want it to be something I do for glory. I understand what hard work truly means, which is why I give back. However, I can’t reach out to everyone in need. When I feel the right energy, I just want to help,” he stated.
