Speaking in an interview on Ekosii Sen on Asempa FM, the musician said his parents were concerned he might struggle financially if he chose music as a profession.

According to him, he later assured them he would succeed and eventually proved that he could build a successful career in the music industry.

Shatta Wale said his parents are now proud of his achievements and have become some of his biggest supporters.

He added that his success has also earned him respect from many people, including political leaders and other influential figures in society.

“My parents initially doubted me when I decided to pursue music. However, today they are my biggest supporters and best friends. They were concerned I might struggle as a musician, but I reassured them. I have proven myself, and now they are proud of my achievements. They offer their support, and even politicians recognise my work. I am respected and regarded in high places,” he said.

In a conversation on E Vibes, the musician shared that his dad was not only supportive of his pursuits but also played a crucial role in shaping his music career.

He pointed out that his father’s extensive record collection from back in the day had a significant influence on his musical journey.

The musician told Becky “My dad had almost every record. My dad inspired my music career greatly. My dad knew who I was. He supported everything I did. He came to watch me play football.”

“He supported everything I did. He was always behind the scenes but he is that person who encourages anything he sees in you. When I started doing music, I didn’t really tell anybody. I was just recording. I remember I had gone to record ‘M3y3’ and I was playing in my room and he just entered my room, sat down for a little while and the comment he made was ‘that is a very beautiful song’ and he thinks is going to be a hit. Those words from him gave me a lot of energy to do more.”

Part 2 of this conversation airs on JoyNews this Saturday at 8:30am and Saturday on Joyprime at 4::30pm
