Ghanaian singer, Shatta Wale, has spoken on his strained relationship with his mother, Elsie Evelyn Avemegah.

Recall that his mother, Elsie, had in an interview with Accra-based radio, Hot FM accused the singer of being a deadbeat son, who doesn’t visit her and they haven’t met anywhere in three years.

Speaking on the reason behind his behavior, the ‘Taking Over’ singer said;

“I’m from a broken home. My mother left my father some time ago when we were young.

“When I was in SS 1, we used to study about 13 subjects in a day and I didn’t have the mind for that. My brain is no factory. So, I told my father that I can’t continue that.

“At that time, he wanted all of us to relocate to the States, Miami to be precise. He had a contract there and wanted all of us to migrate to the US.

“My mother didn’t think about my father’s plans and left him. She ran from home and left us.

“My father tried tirelessly to get her back. God is our witness. As a result of that decision, I grew up in hard conditions.”
