Shatta Wale details reason behind current behaviour
Self acclaimed dancehall king of Ghana, Shatta Wale has recounted the trauma and hardships he went through due to his parents break up.
In a Facebook live video, he disclosed that he did not live under the care of both parents when he was growing up due to a broken home and was greatly affected by that experience.
Shatta Wale said the break up affected his sanity as he had always yearned to live under the care of both parents.
He mentioned that he was always labelled as a disrespectful son if he complained about his parents’ action. This he said, caused him to flee home for his peace which rendered him homeless at a point.
“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 narrated.
Due to that experience, Shatta Wale said he developed 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,” Shatta Wale added.
