Two-year rental agreement, Shatta Wale’s mother moves out of property – Landlord speaks
The landlord of the three-bedroom apartment that Shatta Wale and his management got for the musician’s mother has set the record straight.
In an interview with GHPage TV on December 5, 2024, the landlord, who refused to disclose his name, clarified that Shatta Wale had only rented the property for two years and not purchased it as speculated.
He explained that the musician rented the apartment for GH¢ 3,000 per month.
“The house belongs to me, and Shatta Wale, along with his management, came to rent the apartment for two years. They rented it for GH¢ 3,000 a month. When I realised that Shatta Wale’s management had come to my building, I was happy, but they dealt directly with my team, and all payments went through them,” he stated.
The landlord went on to express shock after chancing on claims by Shatta’s manager that the house was bought.
“I was shocked when I saw on social media that the house was sold. I went to my junior brother, who was involved in the transaction at the time Shatta was renting the house, and asked him about it. He told me that it’s a lie. All that Sammy Flex said about buying the house is fake,” he added.
He also stated that Elsie Avemegah, Shatta Wale’s mother, had moved out of the apartment. The landlord added that her decision to leave was due to reasons best known to her.
“Shatta Wale’s mother said she didn’t like the place because there was no flowing water, along with other excuses. Meanwhile, we have a drilled mechanic well that supplies water to the building at all times.
“She didn’t even stay in the building for more than a week. So, I made my team refund the money to the account that Shatta Wale’s management had given me,” he added.
Background
In July 2024, reports emerged about Shatta Wale’s mother, Elsie Avemegah, facing difficult living conditions following what was described as “ten years of neglect” by her son. This sparked public criticism.
In a recent response to the series of backlash, Sammy Flex, Shatta Wale’s manager, took to social media on December 3, 2024, to announce that the musician had got a house for his mother.
