“My son has neglected me; his girlfriend says I’m a witch” — Shatta Wale’s mother
A deeply emotional revelation involving Ghanaian dancehall artist Shatta Wale has resurfaced after his mother, Madam Elsie Evelyn Avemegah, publicly opened up about their strained relationship, alleging long-term neglect and outside influence on her son.
In the widely circulated interview, Madam Avemegah expressed deep hurt over how her relationship with her son has deteriorated over the years, claiming she has been pushed away from him and left without proper care or communication.
She said, “My son Shatta Wale doesn’t take care of me because his girlfriend told him that I’m a witch,” a statement that has reignited emotional reactions and debate across social media platforms.
She further explained that her access to her son has been restricted over time, suggesting that family tensions and external influence have played a role in the breakdown of their bond.
According to her, the situation has left her feeling isolated and emotionally drained, as she believes her son has been turned against her.
The remarks have also revived long-standing public discussions about reported disagreements between the musician and his mother, with earlier accounts pointing to issues around financial support, communication breakdown, and strained family relations.
The matter has, over time, played out publicly and drawn mixed reactions from fans.
Madam Avemegah also emphasized the emotional toll the situation has taken on her, insisting that the lack of contact has persisted for extended periods and deepened her sense of abandonment.
The resurfaced interview has once again divided opinion online, with some sympathizing with her emotional appeal while others argue that family disputes involving public figures should be handled privately to avoid further public escalation.
The situation adds to the complex personal narrative surrounding Shatta Wale, one of Ghana’s most influential and controversial music figures, whose private life continues to attract significant public attention alongside his music career.
