Shatta Wale is lovely — Shatta Michy

It takes a strong woman to be able to tolerate Dancehall artiste, Shatta Wale due to the negative perception people have about him. But for the wife of the Kakai hit maker, Michelle Diamond Gbagonah, popularly known as Shatta Michy, handling Shatta Wale is an easy task. 

According to the level 400 marketing student of the Wisconsin University, she is able to handle her man because she knows what he likes and dislikes.

“Being able to stay with him for almost a decade should tell anyone that I know him inside out and it will be wrong for anyone to judge him negatively because he is really different from the way people perceive him ,” she told Showbiz in an interview last week.

Shatta Michy described Shatta Wale as one of the best things that ever happened to her because he is understanding, ready to listen and a good father who takes care of his children.

Asked how she is able to stand Shatta’s temper, Shatta Michy, who shot to fame after featuring in the Chop Kiss video and once again wowed patrons of Ghana Meets Naija last Saturday when she performed with him, said she had a way of talking to her man when tempers rise.

“Shatta Wale never goes to bed in anger. He is the type who will tell you his piece of mind when you go wrong and he will easily apologise if he is at fault,” she said.  

To Shatta Michy, the Dancehall King artiste should rather be praised for accepting her for who she was and not the vice versa since she is rather a difficult character to deal with because of her naughty and stubborn nature.

She admires her husband for his love for their two children.

“Shatta has a tight schedule but he makes sure the children are well catered for when I’m not available. Many men in his shoes would use their job as an excuse to avoid their fatherly role but not my Shatta. He even makes me jealous of him because the kids always want to be with daddy even when I’m home. It makes me so jealous but I have accepted that the kids love to be with him more. Maybe, he needs to teach me how he won their love over mine,” he said.

People have reasons for falling in love with their partners but surprisingly, Shatta Michy’s curiosity about Shatta’s “bad” attitude caught her in Shatta’s “love web”.

“I met him on Facebook and we hooked up as good friends. I was then in Norway. When I came to Ghana, any person I asked about Shatta Wale had something negative to say about him which was a different perception about the person I met and became friends with on Facebook. Surprisingly, I fell in love with him because of all the negative stories I heard about him. I was a bad girl too so I obviously didn’t need a good man,” she said with a smile.

Looking back after a decade of being an “item”, Shatta Michy says she’s fulfilled to have a man of Shatta’s caliber as her husband.
