Ghanaian dancehall heavyweight Shatta Wale has revealed that he earned $3 million from the sale of part of his music catalogue, amid ongoing discussions about the value of Ghanaian music assets.
The Shatta Movement boss made the disclosure during a TikTok live session on January 15, 2026, stating that he sold about 300 of his songs to an external entity as part of the deal.
According to Shatta Wale, the proceeds from the sale were invested in property acquisitions and various business ventures, including his online ride-hailing service, Shaxi.
He also used the platform to respond to remarks by a fellow artiste who had questioned whether any Ghanaian music catalogue could command such a valuation.
“I have over 11,000 songs online that my team is still trying to gather. I sold 300 of my songs for $3 million, used the money to buy houses and invest in businesses like Shaxi. Yet someone says no Ghanaian catalogue is worth that much,” Shatta Wale said.
The debate over the valuation and sale of Ghanaian music catalogues has been ongoing since 2025, following a public dispute between producer MOG Beatz and Shatta Wale over unpaid production work on two albums, a matter that has since been resolved.
