Ghanaian dancehall artiste Charles Nii Armah Mensah, popularly known as Shatta Wale, has opened up about the reason behind the breakdown of his once-close relationship with Nigerian Afrobeats star Burna Boy.

Speaking in an interview on the Brunch podcast, Shatta Wale claimed that some of his former associates allegedly spread false allegations about him, which affected his relationship with Burna Boy.

According to Shatta Wale, he stopped working with some members of his team after noticing that they were damaging his image and relationships with influential people.

“I had this team I was working with, and I eventually told them I didn’t want to work with them anymore. About five or seven of these guys started calling every rich man or every important person in my life, telling them I was sleeping with their wives,” he said.

He alleged that one of the claims was made to Burna Boy, with the people telling the Nigerian musician that Shatta Wale was involved with his girlfriend.

“One of them affected Burna Boy. They told Burna Boy that I was sleeping with his girl. They literally wanted to destroy my relationships with everyone,” Shatta Wale claimed.

The dancehall artiste said he was unaware of the allegations until Burna Boy distanced himself from him without allowing him to explain.

Shatta Wale also recalled the support he offered Burna Boy and his family during a difficult period, describing their former bond as a brotherly relationship.

He said Burna Boy’s mother once regarded him as family after he helped them during their stay in Ghana.

“His mum is like my mother because there was a time Burna had a problem in Ghana. They drove from Nigeria to Ghana, and I met them, took them somewhere safe, and looked after them,” he added.

Shatta Wale maintained that he built his success through personal effort and expressed disappointment that people he trusted allegedly contributed to the loss of his friendship with Burna Boy.
