Ghanaian dancehall singer, Charles Nii Armah Mensah Jr. known as Shatta Wale, has opened up on how not being a lawyer is the topmost regret of his regrets.
According to him, despite being a successful musician it doesn’t bring him fulfilment as much as being a lawyer would have.
In a recent interview with Stefania Okereke of the BBC, Shatta Wale openly stated, “My biggest regret in life is that I didn’t become a lawyer.” He further revealed that he is still contemplating the possibility of becoming a lawyer in the future, explaining, “I might pursue a career in law when I accumulate enough resources. I acknowledge my achievements as a musician, but my original aspiration was to become a lawyer.”
Shatta Wale expressed his desire to be seen as a “nice guy,” though he is aware that not everyone perceives him in this way.
The dancehall singer rose to fame after the occasion happened at the 2013 VGMA awards when he threw lyrical insults to VGMA because he proclaimed they robbed him of the Dancehall artist of the year to a female Dancehall artist “Kaakie”.
Even though the song had vulgar lyrics, it was so anticipated by the media which created his musical breakthrough.
His greatest hit song in 2013, ‘Dancehall king’ took the airwaves by surprise. Shatta wale’s musical revenue is mostly generated through the hosting of shows which attract most 1000 Ghanaian youths.
