Popular singer Shatta Wale has said that fake rumours ended his friendship with Burna Boy. He recently had his say during a recent appearance on The Honest Bunch Podcast, and fans have been reacting.
Recalling how he once picked Burna up from the airport during one of his trips to his country, Shatta Wale revealed that everything changed when people started spreading rumours that he was sleeping with the woman the “Ye” crooner brought to Ghana.
The artist added that the situation still hurts because he never got the opportunity to clear his name before their friendship ended.
His words, “I was treating Burna Boy in Ghana like a king. I was showing him the roads of Ghana..I gave him a house, gave him cars. He wasn’t wasting money in Ghana.
They told Burna Boy that I was f^cking his girl he brought to Ghana. He just bought it.
I didn’t know they’ve told them, and he’s decided not to talk to me. I just thank God that God has put Burna somewhere, but it hurts me that he didn’t listen to me to explain to him that this was what the boys were doing.”
