Watch his performance with Burna Boy.
Shatta wale has delivered according to his promises about gifting two cars to his two favourite fans.
About hours ago, shatta wale and his militants together with the lucky fans were spotted at a location where he delivered the cars keys.
The fans whose name yet unknown show their appreciation by shouting the SM anthem ” Paaa paaa paaa”!!!!!
This is a trend setter in Ghana and probably Africa which we hope to see other artists live up to.
Not necessarily giving properties buy showing a little appreciation to their fans
