‘I gave my mother four cars, rented a house for her in a plush estate’ - Shatta Wale refutes claims of abandoning her

It has since been the trend that anytime Shatta Wale engages in a feud with people online, he is often ‘slapped’ with the claims of abandoning his mother.

Although the dancehall musician has fought this assertion severally, he has taken a step further to list some of the things he has provided his mother to cushion her life.

To prove that he has not abandoned his mother as people claim, the dancehall musician has recounted how he purchased four cars for his mother, and rented an apartment for her in a plush neighbourhood in Accra, among others.

Shatta Wale’s disclosure comes on the back of some netizens lambasting him for not taking care of his mother and yet diverting all his energy towards attacking Stonebwoy.

Earlier, after launching a series of attacks at Stonebwoy on social media, Ayisha Modi berated Shatta Wale for not channeling the same energy into taking care of his mother.

“You are insulting someone’s dead mother while you can’t even feed or take care of your living mother. You just keep fooling. Bring yourself wai,” Ayisha Modi, a former member of Stonebwoy’s camp earlier stated.

However, addressing these claims, which are fast becoming a ‘label’, Shatta Wale said, “Everyone in my life has spent my money including my parents. That’s why when I hear people talk about my mother, you amaze me. People actually think I am not sensible enough, they think I abandoned my mother. They think I don’t take care of my mother.

“I gave my mother four cars and rented a house at an estate for her. You don’t know about these things yet you talk nonsense about me all the time. All the good things I did for her, she doesn’t appreciate.”



Background

Sometime in 2022, Shatta Wale’s mother, Elsie Avemegah, took to social media to vent out her frustration after claims of being kicked out of her East Legon apartment which was rented out to her for 6 years.

In a series of radio interviews making rounds on social media, Shatta Wale’s mother who claims not to have set eyes on her son for over five years and counting, stated that her condition is worsening by the day and all efforts to reach out to him have proven futile.

“How can an old woman like me, over 60 years woman be roaming about the streets with polythene looking for a place to sleep? If night falls, I become worried because there is no place for me to sleep. Anyone feeding my son with bad counsel should stop because I am really suffering. For three weeks I have been in a mess.

“The security prevented me from entering the house. Those around him feeding his mind with lies should stop it. I haven’t done anything to Shatta to deserve this treatment. I am really hungry. Currently, I am living in a bush around Kasoa. For the past five years, I haven’t set my eyes on my son,” she earlier stated in one of the viral audios.

Shatta, who is said to have since not heeded his mother’s outcry, has experienced all forms of mockery and intense criticisms.
