Dancehall artiste Shatta Wale claims he used to be a bodyguard for prostitutes at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle and Adabraka during his hustling days.

Reminiscing his past, he said that was one of the part-time jobs he did to support himself even though his father had money to cater for him.

In a Facebook live session, Shatta Wale said although he was not buff like some bodyguards he gave his best.

“Go to Circle and ask; I had ‘Ashawo’ girlfriends there. Do you know the life I have lived? I used to bodyguard ‘Ashawo’. I was the mafia for them; ask boys who know me for Adabraka, they will tell you [sic].”

The 'Melissa' hitmaker said he does not appreciate people downplaying his life and successes because of his music.

He stated that the artistes people pit him against have not lived the kind of life he has.
