Shatta Wale, a dancehall rapper, has hit back at Sadiq Abdulai Abu, the CEO of 3Media Network, for belittling his IQ. Not long ago, the two were at odds after Sadiq claimed that the award-winning singer was becoming an unreliable figure in the music industry.

Who says you can't know how much money you're making from a song or video these d...
