Shatta Wale is one of the most popular celebrities on social media and he has used it to enhance his brand and career. He told Giovani that social media is part of the reasons he is where he is today.
“The internet, social media has really helped me. It brings me closer to my fans and they get to talk to me directly as well. Sometimes, I get my fans online fighting for me when I am asleep and it is such a good feeling. I wouldn’t be here if not for them.”
Shatta also dismissed the assertion that he is a violent person just because of how he talks and acts behind his phone.
“People perceive me like that, as a violent person, just because of the passion with which I address issues but have you heard me pull out a gun before or even get into a physical fight with someone?
"The fact that Rambo (Sylvester Stallone) shoots in movies doesn’t mean he is a killer or goes about shooting people in real life. I am just as plain as possible and for me, it cuts across. I don’t do favourites, once you do not do what is right, I tell you as it is,” he added.
