Ghanaian musician, Shatta Wale lambasts his parents for splitting up

Shatta Wale has narrated how he had battled with the trauma and immense struggles associated with his parent’s divorce.

The dancehall performer claimed that he was not given the chance to grow up with both of his parents, something he had longed for from his early years onward.

Shatta recounted how much his parents’ marital problems affected him and how, at one point, he had to leave home in order to keep his sanity.

He said that one particular choice his parents made had a significant impact on his life and had even, at one point, left him homeless.

“Growing up, I lived with my parents for a while but they did not help me. They made a mistake and broke up. They created a broken home; our home was broken and it affected me so much. Our broken home affected me. Anytime I talked or complained about this, they labelled me disrespectful. So, I left them. I left the house. I run from my parents.

“You know what my parents put me through? Because of them, I slept on the streets, I slept in front of stores. Those days, it was the prostitutes at Nkrumah Circle who were watching over me. I slept at filling stations at Circle including the one that got burnt. I slept on the streets of Adabraka and so on,” he stated during Facebook Live.

Shatta Wale said he further developed a trauma response of cutting people off.

He claimed that, similar to his earlier escape from his parents, he still doesn’t think twice about running away from those who cause him trouble.

I thus began to run away from stress and from those who would make me feel stressed. I learnt how to cut people off because I don’t want to be stressed out there. I interrupt people without hesitation. The principal cutter is myself. I’ve discovered that it’s crucial to cut off relationships with those who want to undermine your positive outlook on life’, the SM CEO said.
