Shatta Wale, born Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jnr. on October 17, 1984,  turned 33 on Tuesday.

Following his tweet, the artiste received an exciting message from the president.

President Akufo-Addo wished the ‘Taking Over’ hit singer “Happy birthday @shattawalegh!”

Shatta Wale would have been satisfied with the mere fact that the president recognized him on his birthday but the First Gentleman was not done yet.

Taking things a notch higher and in pidgin, the president added that, “You for come visit me for Flagstaff House o!”
