Shatta Wale demanded $250,000 to perform at Rapperholic 2020 – Sarkodie reveals
Ghanaian hip-hop/hiplife performer Sarkodie has disclosed why Shatta Wale missed this year's Rapperholic concert.
Although Shatta Wale performed at Sarkodie's “Black Love” virtual concert which was held in August this year, he missed the Rapperholic concert.
Held at the Grand Arena, Accra International Conference Centre, on Friday, December 25, the 8th concert was stormed by music fans in and outside Ghana, particularly SarkNatives – the official fan army of the two-time BET Award winner.
The concert saw hundreds of fans of the musician throng the venue to witness another historic moment.

Sarkodie quickly responded, saying it's because he demanded a huge cash for performance.
“Man call you you say last price 250k dollar …. Ma te .. We shall see,” he tweeted.
It's unclear if he is just joking but Shatta Wale isn't wrong if he charges his fellow musician performance fees. It's been the tradition for years and this won't be bad precedent in anyway.
