Without any iota of doubt, music is a serious business and if any artiste or musician would be serious with it, that musician would make so much wealth and Ghanaian Reggae Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale is a living testimony of this fact.
So many musicians are making wealth from the music business and some people wonder how they make their wealth but the secret is quite simple.
His Maali album has only been out on most of the international music platforms for a few weeks but the Dancehall artiste seems to be making so much money.
The controversial yet talented Reggae Dancehall artiste took to social media to give his fans and music lovers an idea of the amount of cash he is making from the Maali album. This amount of money is first of all quoted in United States dollars and its not a joke .
In a post on social media, Shatta Wale has indicated that he has so far sold about 60,000 copies of the Maali album on just iTunes. And interestingly the cost of the Maali album on iTunes is $10.99 and per the calculations, Shatta Wale has made as much 659,400 Dollars or the sale of the Maali Album so far.
Converting 659,400 US Dollars into Ghana cedis with the assumption that a dollar is equivalent to 10 Ghana cedis , it is obvious that the Dancehall King has made 6,594,000 Which indeed is so much money.
Based on this calculations, is it not so clear that music is a luxurious business that has the capacity of turning the fortunes of the youth around?
It is interesting to note Shatta Wale is also making some good cash from the sale and streaming of the album on other platforms. Before he drops another album , the total amount he would have made from the Maali Album would be enormous.
