"I want to talk to you before I die": 94-yr-old Agya Koo Nimo tells Shatta Wale (2)

The clip was culled from an interview with Ghana Broadcasting Company's Kafui Dey, in which the legend recounted his life and legacy doing music for over five decades.

According to Agya Koo Nimo, Shatta Wale was that one Ghanaian artist in current times who dares to be different.

"I have not met him [Shatta Wale] before, but I like him. He tried to be different. He tried to do a different thing."

Kafui Dey, after discovering Koo Nimo's love for Shatta Wale, connected both artists via a phone call.

On the call, the highlife veteran shared his dying wish with the dancehall superstar, saying:

"I want to do one show before I die. I'm 94. I want to see you in person. So I'm happy about the opportunity to speak to you. I'm in a wheelchair now, I can't walk, but one thing you should know I always love you and everything you do. God bless you."

Shatta Wale promised to visit the 94-year-old musician. In his response to Koo Nimo's affection for him, he stated:

"God bless you for giving me the opportunity to be a great musician in Ghana. Thank you so much. I've been telling people about the legacy you've left for some of us. I respect that so much."
