Shatta Wale Hits At Bola Ray, KOD & Okraku Mantey
Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale has made some of the
hard times he went through years ago known in slow
tempo song.

The ‘Dancehal King’ hitmaker reminiscing his
past in the new song ‘My Star Sign’ narrated
the agony he went through years ago before he met
Bull Dog who revamped his career.

Shatta Wale, who said he use to rehearse live band
with Blakk Rasta said, Kofi Okyere Darko known as
KOD, who was his good friend worked against him on
his deal with Nescafe.

He added that EIB Group boss Bola Ray had a
problem with his promotional CDs and advised him
to work on them because they portrayed him as a
cheap artiste.

“I remember Blakk Rasta things we used to do.
Live band rehearsals but it never paid you. A lot
of sh*ts we went through, just to make this dream
come through.”

“KOD was my hommie, me and him, all the
celebration at night clubs behind the MIC but
n*gger f*cked up my deal with Nescafe. I did
perform for him and it was all for free.”

“Bola Ray had a problem with my promo CD, said I
got to be professional that I am cheap. N*gger
said I was cheap, but that was a motivation.”

Shatta Wale narrating why he stopped working with
Mark Okraku Mantey said, “he said I never sold
nothing and that was funny.”

He further continued - “So I met Bull Dog who
told me to come to his office, put me on his label
and we started taking trophies.”
