Shatta Wale
Dancehall act Shatta Wale has claimed that just at age 14, he had a cool GH¢750,000 in his account, a thing not common with most Ghanaian children.
He made the revelation during a discussion on the Rants, Bants, and Confession podcast released on October 31, 2024.
The ‘On God’ hitmaker said his wealthy father used to even give him foreign currency for his daily needs.
“I started saving at the age of 14 as a rich kid. I went to Prudential Bank at age 14 and told them I was 18 years old. My father used to give me pounds and dollars as daily upkeep so at age 14 I had GH¢750,000.
“I was okay. I didn’t have to buy anything because he was buying all my clothing. I drove one time to the bank when my dad wasn’t home. The bank manager knew I wasn’t 18 though,” he said.
“When I became broke, I had actually forgotten about that money saved with Prudential Bank. It was only later, after my Bandana days that I remembered. When I went to the bank, they said my name wasn’t in the system, so I couldn’t get it back,” he added.
