Dancehall musician, Shatta Wale
Shatta Wale’s influence continues to transcend the boundaries of music, impacting the lives of those who encounter him, including a devoted fan and media personality, Mawuli Ekpe Peter, also known as Abro.
In a heartfelt interview with a local content creator, Abro shared his deep admiration for the Ghanaian dancehall king, even going so far as to describe him as his “deity on earth.”
“I don’t just listen to Shatta Wale’s music; I live by his principles,” Abro expressed, his voice brimming with gratitude.
“He has treated me with more kindness than anyone else in this industry. Despite what I earned as a pundit, he always ensured I was taken care of.”
Abro’s connection with Shatta Wale is not about financial gain; it is rooted in a bond built on mutual respect and shared ideologies.
The media figure reminisced about his time working with various media outlets in Kumasi and Accra, including well-known radio stations such as Dynamite and Space FM. Despite his hard work and dedication over two decades in the media industry, Abro confessed that his earnings never exceeded GHC 3,000.
“Yes, I worked with big stations, but I never really gained anything significant from it. Shatta Wale, on the other hand, has given me more than just money.
“He has given me purpose. By being a fan of his and aligning with his personality,” Abro explained.
What stands out about Abro’s story is his unwavering loyalty to Wale, who, in his eyes, embodies the essence of staying true to oneself.
“My support for Wale is not about money,” he insisted. “It’s about what he represents—staying real, uplifting others, and always giving back. That’s something I deeply believe in.”
