Shatta Wale has publicly begged Bola Ahmed Tinubu, the incoming president of Nigeria, to adopt him.
On March 29, he made his appeal on Twitter, having noted that netizens claim the two of them share a striking resemblance.
Shatta Wale asked the president-elect to come and adopt him as his son from Ghana while declaring his desire to sing one of his popular songs in tribute to him.

He further thanked Tinubu for possibly giving his request consideration and prayed for the former governor of Lagos state to live long.
Shatta wrote; “Your excellency everyone says I look like you,so please come and take your son from Ghana ok lol … They always say my father won’t come for me,so please come for me so perform for u one of my songs Thank you My president, May you live long Dad”
In a related development, Basketmouth has eulogised Shatta Wale for giving him a free verse some time ago when he dropped a track (he had previously indicated on 3FM that he used to be a rapper before he transitioned to comedy).
The veteran comedian and entertainer mentioned that Shatta Wale told him to retain everything, including the royalties, and that he won’t charge him or take anything from him.
Additionally, Basketmuth appreciated the Ghanaian Dancehall artiste effusively for his modest actions toward him. He said;
“Me and Shatta Wale, the way he responded….Oh yes I’ve known him for a while but we’ve never had the opportunity to really speak properly.

And I told him that, dude I’m working on this album I would like to drop and I sent him the song, he loved it, he was done with it under few hours he had given me and he nailed it”
And the guy said something quite interesting, you know what? It’s for free, you don’t need to pay me any royalty or anything take it it is yours. Nobody has ever done that before and to think the he is Ghanaian brother it made me humble” – he said.
