Shatta Wale Receives YouTube Plaque for Surpassing One Million Subscribers

Ghanaian Dancehall star Shatta Wale has reached a significant milestone, surpassing one million YouTube subscribers earlier this year. Celebrated for his energetic stage performances and infectious beats, Shatta Wale has cultivated a substantial international following with his vibrant music and unique style.

The ‘Gingo’ hitmaker achieved this landmark in January 2024. Eight months later, YouTube honored him with a plaque to mark the achievement. Shatta Wale is among a select group of Ghanaian artists to have reached this milestone. Sarkodie was the first Ghanaian artist to achieve one million subscribers last year, with Shatta Wale following approximately six months later. Black Sherif, the youngest artist to reach this mark, achieved it subsequently.

Other notable Ghanaian artists, such as Gyakie and Shatta Wale’s rival Stonebwoy, who have 748,000 and 727,000 subscribers respectively, are seen as potential future members of this exclusive group.

Sammy Flex, Shatta Wale’s manager, celebrated the achievement on social media, showcasing the plaque and expressing his admiration for the artist and his supporters. “This is for Shatta Wale’s YouTube page for clocking one million subscribers. My man has been hiding it somewhere in his room until I went to his apartment last weekend. Congratulations to all Shatta Movement fans globally for making this happen, and kudos to our boss Shatta Wale for always working harder than even expected. The works bring the results we always enjoy. #Safa #ShattaMusic,” he wrote.
