Biography Of Shatta Wale
Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr. (born October 17, 1987) is a Ghanaian reggae and dancehall performer. He goes by the stage name Shatta Wale, formerly Bandana.
Shatta Wale changed his name to “Bandana” after senior high school and launched the smash single “Bandana from Ghana.” In 2004, the song was a huge hit in Ghana’s music business.
Shatta Wale’s unexpected rise to the occasion occurred at the 2013 VGMA awards, when he shouted lyrical obscenities at the VGMA, now Telecel Ghana Music Awards (TGMA), since he claimed they stole him of the Dancehall musician of the Year prize, which went to a female Dancehall musician, Kaakie.
Even though the song had obscene lyrics, it was much anticipated by the media, resulting in his musical breakthrough.
Dancehall King surprised the airwaves with his biggest popular single in 2013. Shatta Wale’s musical business is primarily produced by presenting events that draw thousands of Ghanaian youngsters.

His best-known tracks include “Dancehall King,” “My Level,” and “Taking Over.” He is also renowned for the song “Already” from Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift, which features Major Lazer.
