Shatta Wale’s mom threatened to commit su!c!de, says family caregiver

Chapman said that Afia—possibly a well-known person—had disregarded the mother of Shatta Wale.

Chapman claims that Shatta Wale's mother's condition has gotten worse, leading to psychological issues. She said that the mother had been having panic attacks and suicidal thoughts, often waking up in the middle of the night to search for her kid.

Chapman clarified,

“Before we took her in, she lived in the village enduring these taunts. Her niece, Sherico, intervened, bringing her to Accra and ensuring she received medical care. Despite treatment, she still needs psychological support. She insisted on speaking out, threatening suicide if we stopped her, which is why she came forward.”

This comes after Shatta Wale’s mother openly stated that she felt abandoned by her son for more than ten years.

Chapman added, “Her condition deteriorated. She would wake up in the middle of the night asking for her son Junior, crying out for him. She has suffered mental breakdowns and repeatedly mentioned thoughts of suicide, which initially we thought might be emotional blackmail. She has faced mockery in her village where people accused Shatta Wale of neglecting her while spending on others. This constant reminder fuelled her suicidal thoughts.”
