Head of the famous Shatta Movement (a huge fanbase which is believed to be the biggest in Ghana), Shatta has finally explained the concept of the movement.
Speaking to Paul Adom Otchere on Good Evening on Metro TV, Shatta Wale said the movement simply embodies empowerment and not a radical group made up of hooligans as some people have been to believe.
Shatta Wale added that workshops and petty training are organised to equip members with life lessons.
“The whole Shatta Movement is something to empower the youth because I believe that even though I am a musician, I have a whole lot of duties to do in terms of encouraging boys on the street. Some people have a low spirit and I feel music empower them more so I just gather fanbase and try to build up that team so that at least to show them more direction in life when it comes to certain things in terms of creating forums, creating workshops so they understand that it’s not only through music that one can make it so maybe come to one of the workshops to learn about camera, lighting, stage, things about life” he explained
He also added there are a lot literates and academicians in the movement, contrary to the impression created by his detractors that the fans are made of hoodlums and illiterates.
Most of them are university students, some completed school and cannot go to the university, trade anything you can motivate yourself with,” he added.
