Shatta Wale‘s mother, according to a family member, has struggled with significant mental distress, including suicidal thoughts and panic attacks.
Florence Chapman, responsible for her care, shared concerning updates on her condition.
She criticized Afia Schwarzenegger for disrespecting Shatta Wale’s mother in a TikTok video, highlighting the challenges Shatta’s mother faced before Florence’s family took on her care.
Florence described instances of Shatta’s mother waking up at night searching for her son and facing mental breakdowns.
This situation has sparked widespread social media discussion, with criticism directed at Shatta Wale for alleged neglect of family responsibilities.
“This will be my final video regarding Shatta Wale’s mother’s condition. She has been enduring psychological trauma, desperately trying to reach her son without success. She reached out to many people for help, including family members who also tried to intervene without results.”
Florence continued, “Her condition deteriorated. She would wake up in the middle of the night asking for her son Junior, crying out for him. She has suffered mental breakdowns and repeatedly mentioned thoughts of suicide, which initially we thought might be emotional blackmail. She has faced mockery in her village where people accused Shatta Wale of neglecting her while spending on others. This constant reminder fueled her suicidal thoughts.”
She added, “Before we took her in, she lived in the village enduring these taunts. Her niece, Sherico, intervened, bringing her to Accra and ensuring she received medical care. Despite treatment, she still needs psychological support. She insisted on speaking out, threatening suicide if we stopped her, which is why she came forward.”
