Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Ghanaian Hiplife rapper Shyy has discussed the struggles he had while residing in the UK.
In an interview with Okay FM, the artist, well known for his participation in the Nkasei music group, talked openly about his life abroad.
Shyy and his partner, Isaac Mensa, were almost dragged to court in Ghana for composing the controversial hit song “Tuabodom,” which ended their music career.
The pair left the country to pursue their careers abroad after the uproar. Shyy said that despite his celebrity, he was not given any special treatment in the UK and had to work menial jobs to make ends meet.
Shyy also claimed that while he was working on building projects and digging the ground in Bristol, many Ghanaians observed him.
He received calls from Ghanaians who were shocked to see him working so hard despite his fame.
“In fact, a lot of people in Briston often saw me digging the ground; I even did some of the work (construction) on Liverpool street and so forth…Many Ghanaians saw me while I was doing it.
A lot of people could even call me from Ghana to find out if indeed this was the work I was doing and I replied that, yeah, it’s true because you can’t survive if you don’t do that,” he added.
The musician emphasized the importance of hard work and determination, stating that one cannot survive in a foreign country without doing the necessary work.
Despite the challenges he faced, Shyy is currently back to his music roots with the release of a new EP titled “Tales of Heaven.”
