Entertainment pundit and artiste manager, Bullgod, has shed light on his experience working with dancehall star Shatta Wale, describing it as both challenging and deeply educational.

Speaking in a recent interview with Kafui Dey, Bullgod explained that his time managing Shatta Wale was unlike anything he had encountered in his career.

According to him, Shatta Wale’s unpredictable nature made the job difficult, as he often deviated from agreed plans.

“My time with Shatta Wale was a learning curve. Because he wasn’t your regular artiste, he didn’t conform to the norms. When I’m on radio quenching an issue that he said, he would be on another one doing worse,” he said.

Bullgod noted that unlike other artistes who typically follow a structured approach, Shatta Wale thrived on spontaneity.

“He just threw me off balance. I’ve not worked in that route before. Everybody had worked with followed some sort of a script. It’s not my script, but a script that we have agreed on. He will sit down and say he would just add something in it and that’s what makes him, him,” he stated.

He further likened working with the musician to being close to fire, an experience that comes with both intensity and insight.

“People pray for rain and they forget that there’s mud to be dealt with. If he didn’t have that part of him, you wouldn’t get what you have with all the music, drama and the excitement.

“We who bore some of the brands because we were with him closely, we would have a different vibe because we were by the fire. You might just see the fire and you will not feel it, but we were by the fire, so we knew how it burnt,” he explained.

Despite the challenges, Bullgod emphasised that the experience was invaluable, stating that he gained significant lessons from working with Shatta Wale.

“But in all of this, I really learnt a lot,” he added.
