Renowned broadcaster and DJ Andy Dosty has shared how dancehall star Shatta Wale initially expressed interest in signing rapper King Paluta to his label.
According to Dosty, Shatta Wale was impressed by King Paluta’s performance on their 2020 collaboration, “Ahodwo Las Vegas,” and was in talks to sign the artist.
“The person who wanted to sign King Paluta was Shatta Wale. He really wanted to sign him at a time when nobody knew him,” Andy Dosty disclosed during an appearance on the Asetena Pa podcast hosted by Akoto Mansa.
The veteran presenter recounted how he had lengthy discussions with Shatta Wale about strategies to develop Paluta’s career.
“I remember spending about an hour with Shatta Wale talking about King Paluta—how to shape his brand and the investments needed,” he shared.
Surprisingly, according to Andy Dosty, King Paluta himself was unaware of these negotiations.
Now a leading force in Ghanaian music, King Paluta is a strong contender for Artiste of the Year at the upcoming 2025 Telecel Ghana Music Awards on May 3, 2025.
