Weeks ago, comments by the Dancehall act irked Nigerians, leading to an attack on his personality online.<\/p>\n<p>In an interview on Kasapa 102.3 FM, Wale said he doesn\u2019t consider Nigerian artiste, Wizkid as a super star.  He added that there is nothing extraordinary about the \u2018Ojuelegba\u2018 act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople don\u2019t have that mind to elevate themselves that is why nowadays people see Wizkid and say wow he\u2019s a star. I don\u2019t see Wizkid to be too much for me but Ghanaians see him like that and artistes also see him like that. I will not see Wizkid and be stunned, I rather want him to see me and be amazed because properties and investments are talking,\u201d explained Wale on Kasapa 102.3 FM.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t be wearing fake chains and tell me you\u2019re number one artiste in Africa because I don\u2019t get scared with those things. That\u2019s why when I preach about making money in the music business, I say it and say it well for people to see that this is no joke thing.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>His comments led to a severe backlash from Nigerians on Twitter.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\" xml:lang=\"en\">Merry Christmas to all my <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/wizkidayo?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@wizkidayo<\/a> fans ..????????????????????????<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 SHATTA WALE (@shattawalegh) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/shattawalegh\/status\/944232428486438912?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 22, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>\n<!-- uploaded by: 24 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Entertainment of Saturday, 23 December 2017 Source: Livefmghana.com 2017-12-23 Shatta Wale and Wizkid Ghanaian Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale has extended season greetings to fans of his, who are also fans of Nigerian artiste, WizKid. \u201cMerry Christmas to all my @wizkidayo fans,\u201d reads the message posted by Wale on Micro blogging site, Twitter on late Friday [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":449512,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-449511","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-entertainment"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Shatta Wale wishes his &#039;Wizkid fans&#039;
