Ghanaian musician Pope Skinny has acknowledged the significant influence of Shatta Wale on his life and their friendship.
“I learned confidence from Shatta Wale,” Pope Skinny said in an interview on Accra FM on Thursday.
He said ; “I learned how to make good money” from Wale, and he also picked up Wale’s financial prudence.
Shatta Wale “saves a lot of money,” the former radio noted.
Pope Skinny refuted claims that Shatta Wale bought a Mercedes Benz for him.
I bought a Benz, we went to NAM1’s show, and in an interview, Shatta Wale announced we have welcomed a new Benz into the family – note, he didn’t say he bought it for me. The next thing you know, someone’s spreading news that ‘Shatta Wale buys Benz for Pope Skinny’,” he explained.
“I miss him every day. He’s our guy,” he noted, indicating he regretted how their friendship fell out.
He said, “Because Shatta [Wale] is outspoken, he is always painted as the villain and his words and intentions are misconstrued”.
He argued the Reggae/Dancehall star Shatta Wale “will not attack you unless you provoke him”.
