Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale has announced that his latest project, Street Crown, has been officially approved by the GRAMMY Academy for consideration in the upcoming awards cycle.
In a post shared on his official X (formerly Twitter) page on Wednesday October 1, Shatta Wale described the moment as a milestone not only for himself but for Ghana, Africa, and the global dancehall community.
“This moment is not just about me—it’s about Ghana, Africa, and every fan of African Dancehall. From the streets to the world stage, our sound and culture now stand on the biggest platforms,” he wrote.
“Thank you to the GRAMMY Academy for recognising this entry; win or lose, it’s a victory for the Shatta Movement and every youth who believes that dreams come true through hard work, consistency, and faith.”
Alongside his message, Shatta Wale shared an official note from the GRAMMY Academy confirming that Street Crown had successfully passed the screening process and been placed in the most appropriate award category. The Academy also emphasised that every submission undergoes a rigorous review, with ineligible or duplicate entries removed from the process.
The recognition marks another significant step in Shatta Wale’s international journey, solidifying his place as one of Africa’s most influential music exports. Whether or not Street Crown secures a nomination, the approval itself has been hailed as a victory by fans of the Shatta Movement, who flooded social media with congratulatory messages.
This development positions Shatta Wale among the Ghanaian artists pushing the boundaries of African music onto the global stage.
