Shatta Wale has narrated how he had battled with the trauma and immense struggles associated with his parent’s divorce.

The dancehall artiste said he did not experience the opportunity of growing under the care of both parents, something he had yearned for all through his younger days till now.

Shatta, while narrating the extent to which he was affected by his parents’ marital woes said at a point, he had to flee home to maintain his sanity.

He said that particular decision his parents made thoroughly affected his life and even 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 stated during Facebook Live.

Shatta Wale said he further developed a trauma response of cutting people off.

He said just like he fled from his parents in the past, to date, he still does not hesitate to flee from anyone who stresses him.

“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,” The SM boss stated.
