Shatta Wale’s feature with Beyonce helped me seal an Afrobeat deal – Sarkodie

Rapper Sarkodie says Shatta Wale's collaboration with Beyonce won him a contract, We can report.

According to him, he was outside Ghana to seal an Afrobeat deal but his partners were reluctant to sign but because they didn't understand what Afrobeat was but Beyonce released her song with Shatta Wale the same week and that earned him the deal.

“So I was out of the country to sign a deal which was dragging for days. I had a deal with some white people. The same week Beyonce released her song with Shatta Wale and after that, the people who were dragging their feet signed the deal for me,” Sarkodie told Dentaa.
