Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Shatta Wale has spoken about the pain and hardships he endured as a result of his parents’ 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 claimed 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.
According to Shatta Wale, he continued to grow his trauma response of isolating others.
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.
“As a result, I started running from stress, running from people who would stress me. That’s where I learned how to cut people off because I don’t want stress. I cut people off without thinking twice. I am the chief cutter. I have learned that in life, it is important to cut off anyone who wants to bring negativity into your life,” The SM boss stated.
