Ghanaian dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale, has thrown caution at people who think that he his career has always hinged on beefing with colleague musicians.
According to Shatta Wale, people who think like that should clear that opinion about him.

On the contrary, the musician, who has on a record had more beefs with artistes in the Ghanaian music industry, has stressed that he made more money when he was not beefing any artiste.
Reacting to the perception in an interview on Anigye Mmre on Onua FM with Christian Agyei Frimpong on Thursday, Shatta Wale said his career flourishes without beefs.
“Why do people think that [if I don’t beef] I can’t make money,” he quizzed and added that, “people shouldn’t see me that if there is no beef I can’t survive,” he said.
The dancehall act noted that his beef with Samini, for example, “was one of the greatest beefs I have had in my life” but Samini did not see the business side of it.
Shatta Wale lamented that “we are fighting ourselves every time…we are always fighting for titles and positions.”
He was however quick to add that fighting for titles is not helping the Ghana music industry grow.
Over the years, the dancehall artiste has beefed with the likes of Samini, Stonebwoy, Sarkodie and Yaa Pono. His constant attacks on his fellow musicians have prompted many to conclude that he regularly courts controversy and beefs to be relevant in the music space.
Earlier this month, the musician smoked the piece pipe with Yaa Pono.
