Dancehall artist Shatta Wale has said that the musical collaboration with American star Beyonce was a divine orchestration to clean up the mess created about him.
One of the Ghanaian artists who have faced a series of backlash in the music industry is Shatta Wale. According to him, some entertainment pundits impeded the progress of his brand.
Speaking about his collaboration with Beyonce, the singer and record producer disclosed that the collaboration was a divine blessing that sanitized his tainted image due to pundits and public criticism.
Speaking in an interview with Sammy Flex on CTV’s Class Showbiz, he said that he lost a lot of deals from companies due to the image created about him online.
“I’ve met companies that have told me, Oh we wanted to sign you but you had this problem, and your media people [said this and that] so they said we should forget it,” he illustrated. “Big, big companies.”
“I keep telling people that don’t think you’re hurting me but you are hurting all of us,” he said.
“When I make money, I bring it to the table and we all enjoy. So I think those things [uncontrolled negative criticism] have to stop,” the ‘On God’ hitmaker added.
“I keep saying, God bless Beyonce every time because for Beyonce’s team to sit down with her and say they want to work with me, it wasn’t just a mere and meaningless happening. God’s intervention came there. I think maybe God spoke to her, ‘Come and help my son because [contrary to] the way they are seeing him, I want you to [paint] a beautiful picture [about] him.”
