Being Real (Me) and Prayer have brought me this far- Shatta Wale reveals

Multiple award-winning dancehall artist, Shatta Wale has revealed on the KSM show that what made him went down the drain for 10 good years was his inability of not being real; doing what he knew less of.

He said, “It came to a point in my career, and I realized that I have to be who I am, that there is no need faking it. Even though my ‘Mokoho' song was very popular, within me, I know that’s not my genre.

He added that what also contributed to his hibernation for 10 years was that Djs haven’t been supportive, and as well event organizers treated him so badly. He said, “They stopped playing my songs on radio for 7- 8 years and I learnt a lot during those times. Those are the days when you put my name on shows without my consent.”

Shatta revealed that during his years of hibernation, he tried to learn how to play his own beats, restructure himself and his ways of going about stuffs and as well, it was years of prayer for him.

Shatta Wale who was so-so emotional during the interview said, “I told God he should give me one more chance. He did not bring me into the world to disgrace me. I prayed to God day in, day out to give me the right beat and song.  I prayed during those times when I’m playing beats, writing songs and doing whatever…I always pray that he should give me one more chance…one more chance.”

Wale disclosed that he’s started singing from his days at Seven Great Princess’ Academy through to Winneba SHS and still on.
