Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has revealed that he has not personally benefited financially from his ride-hailing platform, Shaxi, since its launch, insisting that all revenue generated by the service is being recycled within the company to support its growth.
Speaking during an interview on Asempa FM on Wednesday, March 11, 2026 the musician discussed the operations of the Shaxi initiative and appealed to government to support the platform as a national project.
Shaxi, which was launched as a digital ride-hailing service aimed at creating employment opportunities for Ghanaian youth, operates through a mobile application that connects passengers with drivers across parts of Ghana.
During the interview, Shatta Wale disclosed that the management of the platform’s technical operations is handled remotely by a member of his team based in the United States.
He further stated that since the introduction of the platform’s GH¢20 subscription system, he has not withdrawn any personal profit from the proceeds generated.
According to him, this decision was deliberate, as he wants the financial growth of the platform to be transparent and visible over time.
The musician explained that his aim is to build the platform into a sustainable business capable of contributing meaningfully to the country’s digital economy.
His comments come amid public conversations about taxation and compliance involving businesses run by public figures.
Addressing the issue, Shatta Wale said he would be prepared to engage with the Ghana Revenue Authority to clarify the financial structure of the platform if necessary.
According to the musician, with the right backing, the platform could become a symbol of Ghanaian technological innovation and entrepreneurship, particularly when compared with international ride-hailing services operating in the country.
