‎Slim Buster says people should stop mistaking his quiet lifestyle for a lack of money, insisting that he does not perform at shows because promoters cannot meet his price.

‎The veteran musician made the comments during a TikTok live while responding to comparisons between him and younger Ghanaian artistes.

‎“When I started, Shatta Wale's mother hadn't even given birth to him. His mother is my size, yet you fools are comparing me to those people,” he said.

‎Slim Buster said his decision to stay away from shows should not be interpreted as a sign that he is struggling financially.

‎“Or is it because they come and claim they have money? Having money, my foot,” he said.

‎He added, “If you see my payslip, you will be amazed. I don't play shows because they can't pay me. That is why I decided to stay on my side.”

‎The musician also had a warning for people who insult him and mistake his silence for fear.

‎“Let me warn you for the last time. If you insult me and I don't reply to you, don't think I am afraid of you,” he said.
