Charles Nii Armah Mensah, widely known in the industry as Shatta Wale, recently stirred controversy on social media by venting frustrations about his upbringing, particularly directed towards his mother, Madam Elsie Evelyn Avemegah.
In a widely circulated Facebook post, he expressed feeling neglected during his formative years, attributing aspects of his current personality to this challenging upbringing.
Madam Elsie Avemegah responded publicly, revealing a prolonged separation from her son and expressing financial dependence on supportive relatives due to what she perceives as Shatta Wale’s lack of assistance. Shatta Wale, in turn, acknowledged his love for his mother but distanced himself from financial responsibilities, citing her alleged neglect during his upbringing as a contributing factor.
He credited his stepmother for playing a crucial role in his early years, contrasting her supportive presence with his biological mother’s absence. The ongoing public exchanges have deepened the family divide, shedding light on strained relationships and personal challenges amid Shatta Wale’s rise to fame.
Origins of the Conflict: Shatta Wale’s family issues surfaced prominently in 2022 when his mother shared stories of eviction and health struggles, themes recently reiterated by her niece Sherita on TikTok.
