Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale has once again sought the forgiveness of former President John Dramani Mahama, asking to be pardoned for his past actions. He apologised for his public outbursts against the NDC, which had caused a strain in their relationship.
In a warm response, Mahama told him, “Oh, it’s nothing, you’re my son, and I hold nothing against you.”
Shatta Wale recently revealed that former President John Mahama helped him purchase his first house, a gesture he deeply appreciates and says he will never forget.
The dancehall artist emphasised that he could never be ungrateful to Mahama for this significant support.
In response, Mahama assured Shatta Wale that he would speak to party officials whom the musician might have offended in the past and seek to reconcile the differences.
Shatta Wale had previously been a favorite of Mahama and the National Democratic Congress (NDC) until he publicly requested the party to stop using his music for their rallies, campaigns, and other political events.
The rift began when the NDC believed Shatta Wale’s hit song “Mahama Paper” was an endorsement of the former president. Shatta Wale swiftly clarified his neutral stance, insisting that the party should pay if they intended to use the song for official purposes.
