Showbiz photographer Kwabena Awuku explains Shatta Wale’s famous ‘mighty falls’

These captivating images by celebrity photographer Kwabena Awuku show dancehall singer Shatta Wale in what can only be described as mighty falls.

This move (peculiarly taking place during the performance of his song Long Time) has left many befuddled: while some interpret it as an honest fall, others, because of the frequency with which it happens, laud it as a masterful performance gimmick.

In a recent tweet, official photographer of the Kakai hitmaker Kwabena Awuku (born Curtis Osei -Owusu), has once and for all, revealed what this “mighty fall” symbolises:
