keeping a low profile regarding personal life makes the biography of Shatta Wale father rather difficult to ascertain.

That is if at all he is active in this modern era of rampant internet usage. Generally, Shatta Wale’s father keeps his affairs simple, though it’s a fact that he is one of the people in the country with a significant wealth. Like any other parent, he provided his child with the best education by taking him to one of the best prestigious schools in Ghana. He envisioned his son to be a lawyer. Well, obviously his visions were not that clear enough. Though this does not mean he is in any way disappointed in his son for following his own path.

Shatta Capo revealed at son’s birthday that by the time Shatta Wale was a teenager he could spot a musician in him. He had an artistic way of doing things including how he wore his uniform. Though they had a bad relationship by then because of schooling and academic performance, they are now closer than ever. Shatta Wale father’s name has recently been in the media ever since he proclaimed Ebony’s death was not God’s Plan. Ebony who was Ghana’s rising star in this competitive music industry and a member of Shatta Movement met her untimely demise on a road accident. She was close to Shatta Wale and consequently known by Shatta Capo.

According to the father of Shatta Wale, he had heard her song just the previous night before waking up to the gruesome news. He was shocked and confused.
