Ghanaian musician Kwame Yogot says self-acclaimed dancehall king, Shatta Wale is his role model in the music industry.

According to him, he is not going to slow down or quit working hard until he attains the level of success, fame and build a strong fanbase like Shatta Wale.

Speaking in an exclusive interview with Fiifi Pratt on Kingdom FM, Kwame Yogot explained that he resonates well with the life and career struggle of Shatta Wale, hence his decision to pick the dancehall singer as his role model.

“For now, I would say that my role model is Shatta Wale. Yes, it is Shatta Wale. Before I can take a breather in my career, I should be able to attain the level of Shatta Wale.

“I mean who else should I emulate? I have learnt a lot of things from him, to be honest, before deciding to take up music, I had to understand him for a while,” Kwame Yogot told Fiifi Pratt.

Highlighting specific things he had picked from Shatta Wale, Kwame Yogot mentioned that he learnt to be thick-skinned from the dancehall singer.

He said, “I used to be offended and used to reply insults from fans and internet users, but I reckoned that even my role model, Shatta Wale occasionally comes under backlash, so why should I be offended.”

He also called on colleague musicians and up-and-coming artistes to understand and emulate Shatta Wale if they want to be successful in the music industry.
