I have seen some conversations in regards to what Shatta Wale said that he’s richer than every blogger in Ghana.
I don’t think this should be something some of his fans should be excited about because like Mawuli said, everybody is broke in this country except for those two sets of people.
Shatta Wale is richer than me (us) so what should I do? Kill myself because of it?
First off, I am not a musician or even in the same field with him and he’s like 16 years older than me.
Life is not all about wealth, there’s more to it.
I may not be earning $100,000 a month yet but as a blogger what I make is somewhat enough for me and I am working hard to make my life better because I want more.
I completed my first degree this year and I am now starting off as a full-time blogger.
The challenge with bloggers who write about stuff relating to Ghana is because of the fact that the country is a developing country, so things suck online. I may get 2 million page views a month and make between $1,000-$2,000 each month but someone who blogs about stuff relating to USA and gets his traffic there will get same views and make more than $14,000.
I don’t want to go into the details but ya’ll know that a small artiste in the USA is 10x richer than Shatta Wale and any other musician here because of different systems. And that cuts across other fields, not just bloggers.
There are bloggers in Ghana who are richer than Wale, only that they don’t blog about anything relating to Ghana and love to be low-key.
It’s not bad to show-off your wealth when you have it, but stop making it look like because you are rich, you are better than someone in this life because what you earn monthly, someone is earning that hourly somewhere else.
If we are to make a serious analysis, you would realise although Wale is rich, his wealth is equivalent to that of some new artiste in the USA.
I don’t live my life trying to be richer than anyone. My top prayer to God is that I should make what’s enough that can make me comfortable and happy in life.
And it’s funny those making those jokes and mocking bloggers too don’t even make 20% of what these bloggers make a month.
We are not competing with anyone in this life oo but ourselves, so if he’s richer than every blogger and so what? Is he richer than Nana Bediako and co?
Those who are intelligent and f***cking dosted paa don’t behave like your Wale—-
He’s just an insecure dude and those around him should have the courage and tell him; “Chale, Niii oluuu too much, common sense ob3 eko so grow up”
Now I have lots of works to do, and debts to clear and yes, I’m BROKE so if you want to go ahead and laugh, feel free to do that, but Obiaa woni master.
And don’t think Shatta Wale is the only person bloggers can blog about, at least not me—I can write about cats, dogs, cockroaches, and anything to still survive online if one day I decide to stop writing about entertainment news in Ghana.
Aside the money which is why I am blogging, I’m also passionate about it because it gives me the freedom to work anywhere and anytime and even wear what I want (Like I’m in boxers typing this 
?)
Chale blogging is fun ooo, you would notice sometimes, I don’t post much on Ghbase because I can enter into any niche and still survive, so when I am off here, then I am in another niche.
Things have just changed and man made some one or two mistakes like by now, I sign Wale saf
???.
Yeah, so tell Wale I accept he’s richer than me (he grow pass me so anor bore) but me too I say DJ Khaled’s son Ashad is 100x richer than him too?
Now my head aches, going to finish watching Scorpion.
