He also made it clear that unlike his colleagues here in Ghana, he didn't need the support of Nigerians to sell his song to the rest of the world.

One of his popular remarks reads: "I don’t need Nigeria promotion for anything. If Nigerians say they won’t promote Shatta Wale...I don’t need Nigeria’s promotion for anything.”

But reacting to netizens who claim he has made a U-turn with plans of his visit, the celebrated Ghanaian musician clarified his true mission in Nigeria adding that it is purposely for business, not music promotion.

In a tweet sighted by GhanaWeb on August 23, he explained: "I said media tour not promo tour! I am only traveling with my best friend to go and do oil research and u ppl are complaining ok continue."

Also commenting on how his announcement topped trends across social media platforms, he tweeted: "Only One man post. News."
