Ghanaian dancehall star Shatta Wale has just bagged a whopping GH¢300,000+ from Betway’s Aviator—an online crash iGaming game—and he’s not keeping it a secret.
Shatta Wale took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a screen recording of his victorious moment, showing off the virtual plane game that made him richer by over three hundred thousand cedis.
Naturally, Shatta’s post went viral faster than you can say “Aviator win!” Fans and social media users flooded his comments, sending their congratulations (and maybe a little bit of jealousy) his way.
But beyond the excitement of the win, people couldn’t help but talk about Shatta Wale’s well-known love for betting, a hobby he’s been open about for a while. And of course, his win brought up some spicy topics, including his recent views on betting taxes in Ghana.
You see, earlier this year, the Ghanaian government introduced a 10% withholding tax on all betting, lottery, and game winnings.
Shatta Wale wasn’t having it. He openly criticized the tax, claiming it was unfair—especially for young Ghanaians who rely on betting as a side hustle or income stream.
His comments struck a chord with a lot of people, especially those who felt the tax could hinder their chances of making money from their gaming skills.
But back to Shatta’s big win—social media had a field day with his post. While some fans were celebrating his success, others couldn’t help but throw in some hilarious comments and skeptical reactions. Here’s a roundup of some of the best:
“🤣This thing be true 🤣.. all be marketing aswear 🤣🤣 why we dier we money chop some.” – everybodys_padmore.

“Make nobody lie to you, saying there’s no money in betting. Yesterday, when United was losing 1-0 in the 80th minute, the handicap for United was in 50 odds, then I felt like trying, and boom, I won.” – black_god_ferry .
